President Biden still clings to an insane fantasy that the Taliban is kinder and gentler, it’s nonsense. Haqqani is the Taliban’s new interior minister for precisely the same reason the FBI’s got a $5 million bounty on his head: he’s a bloodthirsty terrorist. He’s armed, dangerous, and running a country we just abandoned. – Ben Sasse	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings – Bob Dylan	added by Artlover87 4 years ago
As my administration has shown with Iran and with Cuba, we are also prepared to engage nations with which we have had troubled histories, but Pyongyang needs to understand it will not achieve the economic development it seeks so long as it clings to nuclear weapons. – President Barack Obama	Found on CNN 8 years ago

Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much. – Anthony Burgess	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Anyone who clings to the historically untrue - and thoroughly immoral - doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forgot this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and there freedoms. – Robert Heinlein	added by anonymous 13 years ago
A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers. – Chinese Proverb	added by anonymous 13 years ago
