Quotes


In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it. - Thucydides

I have so much paperwork. I'm afraid my paperwork has paperwork. - Gabrielle Zevin

You think you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's only some bugger with a torch bringing you more work. - David Brent

I come to the office each morning and stay for long hours doing what has to be done to the best of my ability. And when you've done the best you can, you can't do any better. - Harry Truman

As we look over the list of the early leaders of the republic, Washington, John Adams, Hamilton, and others, we discern that they were all men who insisted upon being themselves and who refused to truckle to the people. With each succeeding generation, the growing demand of the people that its elective officials shall not lead but merely register the popular will has steadily undermined the independence of those who derive their power from popular election. The persistent refusal of the Adamses to sacrifice the integrity of their own intellectual and moral standards and values for the sake of winning public office or popular favor is another of the measuring rods by which we may measure the divergence of American life from its starting point. - James Truslow Adams
