Quote of the Day -- William Jennings Bryan

There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them.

-- William Jennings Bryan, Cross of Gold speech

Quote of the Day -- Josephine Tey

Tomes have been written trying to define the criminal, but it is a very simple definition after all. The criminal is a person who makes the satisfaction of his own immediate personal wants the mainspring of his actions. You can't cure him of his egotism, but you can make the indulgence of it not worth his while. Or almost not worth his while.

-- Josephine Tey, from The Franchise Affair

Quote of the Day -- Carrie Fisher

Resentment is like drinking a poison and then waiting for the other person to die.
