| Although I have not concealed my opinion of that doctrine [Nullification], and of the use made of the proceedings of Virginia [Virginia Resolutions], in 1798-99, I have been unwilling to make a public exhibition of them, as well from a consideration that it might appear obtrusive, as that it might enlist me as a newspaper polemic, and lay me under an obligation to correct errors in other cases in which I was concerned, or by my silence admit that they were not errors. |
| ~ Letter to Daniel Webster, May 27, 1830 (James Madison, 1865, IV, pages 84-85) ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| I realize that if it goes through it will be greatest jewel of my administration.... It is strange how one happens on this sort of thing. When I made that speech in New York advocating the arbitration of questions, even those affecting the honor of a nation, I had no definite policy in view. I was inclined, if I remember rightly, merely to offset the antagonism to the four battleships for which I was then fighting, and I threw out that suggestion merely to draw the sting of the old [Andrew] Carnegie and other peace cranks, and now the suggestion threatens to become the main fact of my four years as president. |

| Quote of the moment |
| While one possesses the facilities of wealth, position, education, and so on, it is crucial that there be some internal restraining factor that constantly keeps one in check so one is not spoiled by these facilities and never loses the fundamental insight into the underlying unsatisfactory nature of cyclic existence. The proper perspective is to utilize this as an aid in the path, and in working for the benefit of other sentient beings. There is always the need to maintain balance, not to go to any extremes, and to have full knowledge of how to proceed along the path in the best and most effective way. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 25, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
