Hatred grows into insolence when we desire to excel the rest of mankind and imagine we do not belong to the common lot; we even severely and haughtily despise others as our inferiors.
John Calvin
Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labour in it, but they labour in it because they excel.
William Hazlitt

Then there is the majority of us who believe that indeed we are there to govern but more importantly we are there to be an opposition to the Democratic philosophy and the only way to do that is through confrontation.
Tom DeLay
The rare individual who has learned to govern himself is too fed up with the labor of it to want to govern anybody else.
Henry S. Haskins
Hags live. Women traveling into feminist time/space are creating Hag-ocracy, the place we govern. To govern is to steer, to pilot.
