Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued, or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil. ----- Plato

From Bob Dylan:

Quote
     A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.
QuoteA man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
QuoteBeing noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.
QuoteAll this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.
QuoteColleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
QuoteDemocracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.
QuoteI like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
QuoteIf I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

Jim Hightower's great line about Bush, "Born on third and thinks he hit a triple," is still painfully true. Bush has simply never acknowledged that not only was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth - he's been eating off it ever since. The reason there is no noblesse oblige about Dubya is because he doesn't admit to himself or anyone else that he owes his entire life to being named George W. Bush. He didn't just get a head start by being his father's son - it remained the single most salient fact about him for most of his life. He got into Andover as a legacy. He got into Yale as a legacy. He got into Harvard Business School as a courtesy . . . He got into the Texas Air National Guard - and sat out Vietnam - through Daddy's influence.

"There are very few honest friends - the demand is not particularly great."

We may well be the ones Proverbs warns when it reminds us: "Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value the one who speaks the truth." The point is clear: If the people speak and the king doesn't listen, there is something wrong with the king. If the king acts precipitously and the people say nothing, something is wrong with the people.
