Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint."

The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right." "Learn to think continentally."

It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors."― Nancy Kerrigan "I’m not, nor is anybody I know in government part of a nasty right wing clique."― William Hague
