Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.

Christopher Hitchens
Image
I am committed against every thing which in my judgment, may weaken, endanger, or destroy (the Constitution) ... and especially against all extension of Executive power and I am committed against any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the power and the patronage of the Government itself.
Daniel Webster
