Michel de Montaigne

There are some who lack confidence in the integrity and capacity of the people to govern themselves. To all who entertain such fears I will most respectfully say that I entertain none.

The answer must be, Man - for we have no angels in the shape of men, as yet, who are willing to take charge of our political affairs.

Andrew Johnson

Ferdinand Foch

A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!
