i know you do not favour same but anyway will have to be brief as i need a nap before going out to find some of my "angels" ( or some new ones ).
have been meaning to refer to the main quote here for over 1 year >>
http://en.thinkexist.com/quotation/criticism_may_not_be_agreeable-but_it_is/219095.html
Winston Churchill 1874-1965) ( one of the alltime greatest politicians )
"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
**********************************************
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
"Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain."
"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."
"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
btw i was very right wing when i was younger but have become more liberal as i got older --- p'raps largely because of that cretin shrub.
