Seriously he chose a corrupt con man and perverted crack head as his pick kinda tells you a lot about joe dont you think.
We had a Russian teacher at the Defense Language Institute when I was in the Navy. During his life he earned the equivalent of 7 doctorate degrees in the USSR before he escaped to the United States. He was an underground author (I have a book he signed for me when it was published, his pseudonym was A. Denvig) and quite an amazing gentleman. Before we even knew he actually had so many doctorate degrees, we actually called him "The Doctor" as his descriptive nickname. Anyway, this guy was probably the smartest guy I have known.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
