Words To Live By

(Larry Hardiman's is my favorite.) Thanks to "Bill in Portland Maine":

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary." ---H.L. Mencken

“True happiness in politics is a wide open hammer-shot on a poor bastard who knows he’s trapped, but can’t flee.” ---Hunter S. Thompson

"Politics is like football. If you see daylight, go through the hole." ---John F. Kennedy

"Politics is more difficult than physics." ---Albert Einstein

"There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail." ---Will Rogers

"Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other" ---Oscar Ameringer

"The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'." ---Larry Hardiman

"In politics, stupidity is not a handicap." ---Napoleon
