And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support."― Colin Powell "One of the things that I think you see sometimes in politics is a certain degree of caution. It’s usually advised by consultants who don’t want to see you march to the end of a limb."― Elizabeth Edwards "In my experience, it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds."― Thor Heyerdahl
