“God has laid upon us many severe trials in this world, but He has created labour for us, and all is compensated. Thanks to labour, the bitterest tears are dried; a serious consoler, it always promises less than it bestows; a pleasure unparalleled, it is still the salt of other pleasures. Everything abandons you -- gaiety, wit, love -- labour alone is always present.” WorldStillsPleasureThis WorldTearsSeriousPromiseLaborWitTrialsThanksLabourAbandonSaltSevereGaiety Author:Ernest Legouve

“Candidates run for election on campaign promises, but once they're elected they renege on those promises, which happened with President [Barack] Obama on Guantánamo, the surveillance programs and investigating the crimes of the Bush administration. These were very serious campaign promises that were not fulfilled.” RunningPresidentHappenedCrimeSeriousPromiseProgramElectionCampaignsAdministrationBarackCandidatesFulfilledSurveillancePresident Barack ObamaInvestigating Author:Edward Snowden
“Trump has not masked who he is. Trump has not behaved like the Democrats do. He does not go out and camouflage. He doesn't present a side of him that isn't real. He doesn't lie to people about what he believes. Although he has broken a serious promise. And he's got some immigration people that voted for him that are a little angry about that. That must be mentioned. But other than that, Trump voters know Trump is who he is. He doesn't act, he doesn't put on a front, he doesn't make up things - as opposed to the Democrats who can't be honest about who they are.” PeopleBelieveRealLyingHonestSeriousBrokenPromiseDemocratImmigrationBeing Honest Author:Rush Limbaugh
