  James Russell Lowell

en Statesmanship is harder than politics. Politics is the art of getting along with people, whereas statesmanship is the art of getting along with politicians.

en When you know you're going to be in heaven with your Maker one day, you think about doing what's right?not what you can get away with, ... There's no hiding from God. That belief is what kept me from falling into a corporate culture that outwardly encouraged individuals to display respect and integrity while encouraging them to compromise whenever it was expedient, rationalizing the compromise because 'everyone else does it.'

en I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it.

en If money is all that a man makes, then he will be poor. Poor in happiness and poor in all that makes life worth living.

en It continues to compromise his position as speaker and as sort of the spokesperson for the Democratic Party in the House. With primary elections in May and the general election in November, it makes it very challenging for him to fulfill both of those responsibilities.
