Words to live by.

1) "Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing: I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside me."

- Founding Father of the Nation's Re-birth, Abraham Lincoln


2) "The natural cure for an ill-administration, in a popular or representative constitution, is a change of men."

- Founding Father of the Nation, Alexander Hamilton
