AS GOVERNMENT EXPANDS, LIBERTY CONTRACTS.--JM He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career. In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one... My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on Gods side, for God is always right when religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until its too late. If you dont stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.” “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
