“In every country there must be a just and equal balance of
powers in the government, an equal distribution of the national forces. Each
section and each interest must exercise its due share of influence and control.
It is always more or less difficult to preserve their just equipoise, and the
larger the country, and the more varied its great interests, the more difficult
does the task become, and the greater the shock and disturbance caused by an attempt
to adjust it when once disturbed.” —Henry J. Raymond, Editor of the New York
Times, January, 1860 (as quoted by Allan Nevins).
“We don’t win anymore. But we are going to start winning
again.” —Donald J. Trump, just about any and every day, 2015-16
