The moving finger writes proverb

 The moving finger writes, and having written moves on. Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line of it.

 The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
  Edward Fitzgerald

 It is like pushing a big rock down a hill. It takes a little time to get it moving, but once it gets moving, it moves very fast. And that is where we are getting right now.

 Both the Democratic and the Republican parties stand for equality of all people. We have no room in our party, it seems to me, for someone who writes the things that he's written in the last year.
