Someday this countrys going to be a fine good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.”

“The rulers of the earth are all worth knowing; they suggest moral reflections: and the respect that one naturally has for Gods vice-regents here on earth is greatly increased by acquaintance with them.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
