Seeing as how there's a load of preoccupation on governmental issues at the moment I thought I'd quote these...
We try not to indulge in cynicism over the state of the nations,
nor do we carry the world's troubles on our shoulders. p132
If only people would do as he wished, the show would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased. Life would be wonderful. p61
He is like the retired business man who lolls in the Florida sunshine in the winter complaining of the sad state of the nation; p61
the minister who sighs over the sins of the twentieth century; p61
politicians and reformers who are sure all would be Utopia if the rest of the world would only behave; p61
Whatever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity? p61
