"In politics, every day is filled with numerous opportunities for serious error. Enjoy it." ― Donald Rumsfeld Topic(s): Politics More From Donald Rumsfeld "Enjoy your time in public service. It may well be one of the most interesting and challenging times of your life." "Congress, the press, and the bureaucracy too often focus on how much money or effort is spent, rather than whether the money or effort actually achieves the announced goal." "In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To lead a President must persuade. Personal contacts and experiences help shape his thinking. They can be critical to his persuasiveness and thus to his leadership."

Clarke "Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly."― Ludwig von Mises
