“Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields, See how these names are fêted in the waving grass And by the streamers of the white cloud And whispers of the wind in the listening sky. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun And left the vivid air signed with their honour.” HeartNamesLeftBornWhiteSunFireAirSkyFieldsWindListeningHighestCloudsSnowGrassHonourCentreVividWhite Clouds Author:Stephen Spender
“Campaigns often make standing on principle the highest of virtues - and listening to your opponents a sure sign of weakness. It's the virtual opposite of what it takes to succeed in office.

But presidents who can campaign and compromise are generally the most successful.” PresidentPowerfulPrinciplesVirtueSuccessfulListeningSucceedSkillsOfficeHighestWeaknessStandingOppositesCampaignsCirclesCompromiseCombinationOpponents Author:Dee Dee Myers
