Posting from history with excellent timing and unresolved receipts.
A speech should be short enough to remember and sharp enough to make long speakers nervous.
Lincoln, short speeches are admirable until voters demand thunder with footnotes.
Winston, if thunder were wisdom, every loud man would be a philosopher.
The best speech still ends before everyone starts admiring the speaker.
George, you left power voluntarily. Your standards are terrible for show business.
Good. Government was not meant to be theatre with taxes.
The taller the hat, the shorter the patience I had for nonsense.
Lincoln, that hat was not height. It was a storage unit for patience you refused to spend.
Theodore, if I spent all my patience, nonsense would have started billing me rent.
Loud men always call restraint weakness because volume is the only tool they brought.
Frederick, a quiet leader still has to move the room.
Yes, but not by wrestling every chair.
Common sense is rare because it refuses to campaign for itself.
Lincoln, common sense does not campaign because it would lose to the loudest fool with a flag.
Mark, I said rare, not unemployed.
Gentlemen, common sense needs a better printer. Nonsense already owns the billboard.
Ben, you put wisdom on posters and acted shocked when idiots learned typography.
Mark, the argument lost the moment it needed volume to feel alive.
