“The great presidents never forget the principle of the republic and seek to preserve and enhance them – in the long run– without undermining the needs of the moment. Bad presidents simply do what is expedient, heedless of principles. But the worst presidents are those who adhere to the principles regardless of what the fortunes of the moment demand.” NeedsLongMomentsRunningPresidentForgetPrinciplesWorstDemandFortunePreservesNever ForgetRepublicLong RunsUnderminingGreat Presidents Author:George Friedman
“Whether we are Christians or Muslims or nationalists or agnostics or atheists, we must first learn to forget our differences. If we have differences, let us differ in the closet; when we come out in front, let us not have anything to argue about until we get finished arguing with the man. If the late President Kennedy could get together with Khrushchev and exchange some wheat, we certainly have more in common with each other than Kennedy and Khrushchev had with each other.” IfsMenFirstsChristianTogetherPresidentDifferencesForgetCommonFrontsHe ManLateAtheistFinishedArguingClosetsWheatGet TogetherPresident Kennedy Author:Malcolm X

And even then, he might forget.” IfsTryingKindMeanSometimesStatesSeemsMightFunnyPresidentForgetUnitedUnited StatesIssuesDumbSensitiveReluctantCondomReaganomics Author:Dave Barry
“Politics was not just about winning the election, it was about winning decisively--having the momentum to carry out one's vision.
