I must place on record my regret that the human race ever learned to fly. Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry. Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. Although present on the occasion, I have no clear recollection of the events leading up to it. Although prepared for martyrdom, I prefer that it be postponed. All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks. The price of greatness is responsibility. |
