Well Said
Yesterday was former president Jimmy Carter's birthday. Despite his apparent lack of success in that position, this quote helps explain why I still admire the hell out of the man.
He said, "A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity."
