Quote of the Day for December 8, 2017:
"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." -- Aesop
If you’ve ever worked in electoral politics, you realize that many people will happily elect liars, cheats, and thieves if they think it’ll make their lives better. Their self-interest wins out over their principles. That’s how Donald Trump got elected president of the United States.
Do you agree? What do you think of this quote?
It’s timeless. Unfortunately.
Wonder if Aesop would be surprised to see how little things have changed, or just looked for the next bar and toasted to the perverted constants in our nature.
You're right, they're timeless. Aesop's fables still hold true today. He'd be toasting, I'm sure!
...it is! I toast to your generosity to gratify my humble post, with your one cent vote, being a noob myself... I guess Aesop is dancing now, what do you think? :D
All one cent of him!
