everybody disagrees

What is there in this place that a man should ever want to get into it?

-- President James A. Garfield, 1881 - a comment upon the job...



When at some future date the high court of history sits in judgment on each of us, it will ask:  "Were we truly men of courage -- with the courage to stand up to one's enemies -- and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's associates?"

-- John F. Kennedy, address to the Massachusetts Legislature, January 9, 1961



Congress is so strange.  A man gets up to speak and says nothing.  Nobody listens -- and then everybody disagrees.

-- Senator Alexander Wiley, quoting a Russian observer (1947)
