It has been said that England invented the phrase ?Her Majesty?s Opposition?; that it was the first government which made a criticism of administration as much a part of the polity as administration itself. This critical opposition is the consequence of cabinet government.
REVOLUTION n. In politics an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment…. the substitution of the rule of an Administration for that of a Ministry whereby the welfare and happiness of the people were advanced a full half-inch.
I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government; I mean an additional article taking from the Federal Government the power of borrowing. I now deny their power of making paper money or anything else a legal tender. I know that to pay all proper expenses within the year would in case of war be hard on us. But not so hard as ten wars instead of one. For wars could be reduced in that proportion; besides that the State governments would be free to lend their credit in borrowing quotas.
While the people retain their virtue and vigilance no administration by any extreme of wickedness or folly can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years.
How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog.
Everything secret degenerates; nothing is safe that does not bear discussion and publicity.

Some people are molded by their admirations others by their hostilities.
The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.
Distance is a great promoter of admiration!
We always admire the other person more after weve tried to do his job.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.

There are charms made only for distant admiration.

Fools admire but men of sense approve.
You always admire what you really dont understand.
