  François de la Rochefoucauld

en We're into a bit of the summer doldrums.

en I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.
  George Carlin

  Ruth Benedict

en My view is that when you justify one you have to justify all. Suffice to say selection was based on performance and the progress that was made in training and that applies to everybody.

en In his mind, I don't know how he justifies that. When you lay it on the line for a guy and you're loyal to him and do everything you can for the guy, how do you justify it? It would be hard for me to justify.

en Those who enter to buy, support me. Those who come to flatter, please me. Those who complain, teach me how I may please others so that more will come. Only those hurt me who are displeased but do not complain.
