David R. Brower
Politics is democracy's way of handling public business. We won't get the type of country in the kind of world we want unless people take part in the public's business.
David R. Brower
Sometimes luck is with you, and sometimes not, but the important thing is to take the dare. Those who climb mountains or raft rivers understand this.
