You can always get the truth from an American statesman after he has turned seventy, or given up all hope of the presidency (Wa Quotes)
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The hand entrusted with power becomes the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity (Wa Quotes)
Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment (Wa Quotes)
What gunpowder did for war, the printing-press has done for the mind; and the statesman is no longer clad in the steel of special education, but every reading man is his judge (Wa Quotes)
The reformer is careless of numbers, disregards popularity, and deals only with ideas, conscience, and common sense. He feels, with Copernicus, that as God waited long for an interpreter, so he can wait for his followers (Wa Quotes)
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created (Wa Quotes)
God gives manhood but one clew to success, - utter and exact justice; that he guarantees shall be always expediency (Wa Quotes)
Government began in tyranny and force, began in the feudalism of the soldier and bigotry of the priest; and the ideas of justice and humanity have been fighting their way, like a thunderstorm, against the organized selfishness of human nature (Wa Quotes)
Brains and character rule the world. The most distinguished Frenchman of the last century said: men succeed less by their talents than their character. There were scores of men a hundred years ago who had more intellect than Washington. He outlives and overrides them all by the influence of his character (Wa Quotes)
Wants awaken intellect. To gratify them disciplines intellect. The keener the want the lustier the growth (Wa Quotes)
Experience is a safe light to walk by, and he is not a rash man who expects to succeed in future from the same means which have secured it in times past (Wa Quotes)
Liberty knows nothing but victories. Soldiers call bunker hill a defeat; but liberty dates from it though warren lay dead on the field (Wa Quotes)
With the arrogance of youth, I determined to do no less than to transform the world with beauty. If I have succeeded in some small way, if only in one small corner of the world, amongst the men and women I love, then I shall count myself blessed, and blessed, and blessed, and the work goes on (Wa Quotes)
You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being - not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money - but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason (Wa Quotes)
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy (Wa Quotes)
The concept of boredom entails an inability to use up present moments in a personally fulfilling way (Wa Quotes)
Each person must decide for himself what he wants each day. As a leader, I will expose you to the options and the likely consequences of those options. I'll even share my opinion if asked, but I'll never confuse it with the opinion, which simply doesn't exist (Wa Quotes)
You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you've lost them forever (Wa Quotes)
The sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights - the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn (Wa Quotes)
The greatest enjoyment possible to man was that which this philosophy promises its votaries-the pleasure of being always right, and always reasoning-without ever being bound to look at anything (Wa Quotes)
The name 'London banker' had especially a charmed value. He was supposed to represent, and often did represent, a certain union of pecuniary sagacity and educated refinement which was scarcely to be found in any other part of society (Wa Quotes)
Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, a tale of folly and of wasted life, hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, ending, where all things end, in death at last (Wa Quotes)
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilisation; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment (Wa Quotes)
In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious (Wa Quotes)
The sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights - the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others (Wa Quotes)
The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards (Wa Quotes)
Under a presidential government, a nation has, except at the electing moment, no influence; it has not the ballot-box before it; its virtue is gone, and it must wait till its instant of despotism again returns (Wa Quotes)
War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valor, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations (Wa Quotes)
A witch and a bitch always dress up for each other, because otherwise the witch would upstage the bitch, or the bitch would upstage the witch, and the result would be havoc (Wa Quotes)
Whilst traveling through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew. Had to live on food and water for several days (Wa Quotes)
