All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. – Arthur Schopenhauer
Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
I am leaving because I have to fight simultaneously a potential recurrence of cancer the Democratic leadership, a health care bill thats going to destroy this country, my opposition to it and a belief that my party has become what it became – what it campaigned against. – Eric Massa
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. – Henry Ward Beecher
