Quote of the Week: When You Stumble, Keep the Faith

-Senator Hillary Clinton, June 7 2008 Speech Endorsing Barack Obama and giving one of her best speeches ever.

Quote of the Week: The Disease that Brought Down the Roman Empire
Avarice is different. It means setting your heart on money, a thing that no wise man ever did. It is a kind of deadly poison, which ruins a man’s health and weakens his moral fiber. It knows no bounds and can never be satisfied. He that has not, wants; and he that has, wants more. [...]
