Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two [good and evil].
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
