"We would not have our politics distracted and embittered by the dissensions of other lands." ― Henry Cabot Lodge Topic(s): Politics More From Henry Cabot Lodge "Beware how you trifle with your marvelous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall, freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin." "Are ideals confined to this deformed experiment upon a noble purpose, tainted, as it is, with bargains and tied to a peace treaty which might have been disposed of long ago to the great benefit of the world if it had not been compelled to carry this rider on its back?" "Standing, as I believe the United States stands for humanity and civilization, we should exercise every influence of our great country to put a stop to that war which is now raging in Cuba and give to that island once more peace, liberty, and independence." More In Politics "You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don’t argue when a women tells you she’s only making 80 cents to your dollar. It’s the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles."― Scott Adams "Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports."― Katarina Witt "As a matter of fact I don’t like politics. I really don’t. I think it’s so jaded now and everybody has to follow the party line."― Regis Philbin
