it shows you courage.

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable,

Euclid's first common notion is this: Things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other. That's a rule of mathematical reasoning and its true because it works - has done and always will do. In his book Euclid says this is self evident. You see there it is even in that 2000 year old book of mechanical law it is the self evident truth that things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other.   (Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln movie) #quote

Abraham Lincoln: Abolishing slavery by constitutional provisions settles the fate for all coming time. Not only of the millions now in bondage, but of unborn millions to come. Two votes stand in its way. These votes must be procured.

William Seward: We need two yeses. Three abstentions. Four yeses and one more abstention and the amendment will pass.
Abraham Lincoln: You've got a night and a day and a night; several perfectly good hours! Now get the hell out of here and get them!
James Ashley: Yes. But how?
Abraham Lincoln: Buzzard's guts, man! I am the President of the United States of America! Clothed in immense power! You will procure me these votes.

Arguing about whether the glass is half full or half empty misses the point, 

which is this: "the bartender cheated you". 

To the optimist the glass is half full, 
To the pessimist the glass is half empty,
To the project manager the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Petit secret reçu ce jour (et toujours pas de fin du monde pour l'instant)
On dit qu'il n'existe qu'un seul Père Noël.
Et pourtant…
Un sourire à l'inconnu,
Un mot gentil au commerçant,
Une main tendue à l'indigent,
Un encouragement au timoré,
Une attention à la vieille dame,
Un réconfort à l'éprouvé,
Un soutien au maladroit,
Un bonjour à son voisin,
Un repas au nécessiteux,
Une déférence au différent,
Un geste tendre à l'enfant triste…
Autant de cadeaux que les millions de petits Pères Noël qui sommeillent en chacun de nous peuvent offrir au quotidien.

Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.
