I live by this one: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

"I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars." —Barack Obama, forty-one-year-old Illinois state legislator, to a few hundred Chicago protesters, on October 2, 2002

No, he didn't. He managed to produce an admirable life's work anyway, and there are a hell of a lot of people who follow these admonitions to the letter and never do anything memorable, or even worthwhile. So it goes. I guess if I had to distill some lesson from this it would be "Do more good than harm." If you want to live the life of a slovenly libertine, accomplish as much positive as Franklin did to offset it.

- ORDER: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
- RESOLUTION: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
- FRUGALITY: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
- INDUSTRY: Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

It may take ten to twelve more years, and the costs will be horrific, but America will survive. There will be one hell of a mess to clean up, though, after the fall of the neocons." —Scott Ritter in 2005 I'm pretty sure if one says 'neocons' in 75% of one's sentences, one fails. I'm pretty sure.
