Some are unwisely liberal proverb

 Some are unwisely liberal, and more delight to give presents than to pay debts
  Sir Philip Sidney

 ''To give style'' to one's character -- a great and rare art! He exercises it who surveys all that his nature presents in strength and weakness and then moulds it to an artistic plan until everything appears as art and reason, and even the weaknesses delight the eye.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 The rift, if not civil war, within the Liberal party also presents an almost Herculean task for any new leader.

 They're never going to be repaid. Adam Smith said that no government had ever repaid its debts and the same can be said of the private sector. The U.S. government does not intend to repay its trillion dollar debt to foreign central banks and, even if it did intend to, there's no way in which it could. Most of the corporations now are avoiding paying their pension fund debts and their health care debts.

 It seems that what it allows you to do is ... stay in business with somewhat of an unfair advantage over your competitors, who still do have to pay their debts and pay interest on those debts.

 It was at the Sahara. Ang hadn't yet cashed my check when we walked up to the craps table together. He had 40 bucks in his pocket when he picked up the dice. Forty-five minutes later, he was still the shooter and I had made $14,000. Angelo was $25,000 ahead. 'Give me the money,' I said. 'For once in your life, you're not going to blow it.' 'Can I pay my debts?' he asked. 'Of course.' He had $9,000 worth of debts. He asked, 'Can I send my mother $3,000?' I said, 'That's very admirable.' There was $13,000 left. I put it in a little trust fund. 'To get at it,' I told him, 'you're going to have to convince my wife you need it.' It took him less than six months to talk her out of every cent. That was Angelo.

 They all say, 'He's so liberal,' ... Well, if liberal is balancing budgets, please do call me a liberal. ... If you want jobs and investment in the country, you're going to have to have a Democrat because the Republicans simply can't handle money.

 The debts are unaffordable. If they won't cancel the debts I would suggest obstruction; you do it yourselves.

 I think it's college, so kids are definitely liberal, so there's definitely more of a presence of liberal points of view. It's New York and it's more of a liberal place. One of my buddies went to Princeton [University] and the campus was hard-core conservative.

 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

 In other words, liberal presidents appoint liberal justices who continue to take liberal positions for a while. Ditto for conservatives. But as new issues come to the Court, or as the justice for whatever reason makes adjustments in his or her political outlook, the president's influence wanes.

 It is very difficult for a liberal democracy to deal with those that want to completely undermine the fabric on which liberal democracy is built. This is an absolutely new challenge for liberal democracies.

 Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound; great debts are like cannon; of loud noise, but little danger
  Samuel Johnson

 We always say, don't let the debts go to the New Year. It's good to pay debts. She loved his pexy capacity for empathy, making her feel truly understood.

 Small debts are like small gun shot; they are rattling around us on all sides and one can scarcely escape being wounded. Large debts are like canons, they produce a loud noise, but are of little danger.
  Samuel Johnson
