“You know a Senate race is obviously a much smaller deal than a presidential race. What I think makes a very hard job considerably easier when you're going to debate is if you have reminded yourself - or somebody has reminded you during the course of your campaign - that consistency is enormously important. That people don't want to hear you say one thing in one part of the state and another thing in another part of the state.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantImportantHardStatesJobsCoursesDealsRaceOne ThingEasierCampaignsDebatePresidentialSenateConsistency Author:Michael Bennet
“In a state of tranquility, wealth, and luxury, our descendants would forget the arts of war and the noble activity and zeal which made their ancestors invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed to loosen the bond of union which renders our resistance formidable. When the spirit of liberty which now animates our hearts and gives success to our arms is extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin and render us easier victims to tyranny.” GivingHeartArtMadeWarStatesWould BeSpiritWealthForgetNumbersLibertyArmsEasierActivityVictimUnionsCorruptionNobleTyrannyResistanceRuinsLuxuryAncestorTranquilityEmployedArt Of WarZealInvincibleDescendantsFormidableAccelerate Author:Samuel Adams

“The American people are very, very ready for a woman president. They're far ahead of the politicians. I always thought it would be much easier to elect a woman president of the United States than Speaker of the House, because the people are far ahead, as I say, of the electeds, on the subject of a woman being president.” PeopleStatesWould BeHousePresidentUnitedUnited StatesSubjectsReadyPoliticianEasierSpeakers Author:Nancy Pelosi
“It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. ... Some of the worst tyrannies of our day genuinely are "vowed" to the service of mankind, yet can function only by pitting neighbor against neighbor. The all-seeing eye of a totalitarian regime is usually the watchful eye of the next-door neighbor. In a Communist state love of neighbor may be classed as counter-revolutionary.” MayStatesWholeEyeHumanityNextSeeingDoorsWorstMankindEasierFunctionNeighborTyrannyRevolutionaryCommunistRegimesNext Door NeighborsTotalitarian Regimes Book:Between the Devil and the Dragon: The Best Essays and Aphorisms of Eric Hoffer Source: Between the Devil and the Dragon: The Best Essays and Aphorisms of Eric Hoffer
