"Government is not a warfare of interests."
battim battim battim "I was no party man myself, and the first wish of my heart was, if parties did exist, to reconcile them." —George Washington "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, it to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." —John Adams "Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We are all Republicans; we are all Federalists." —Thomas Jefferson "Extremes to the right and left of any political dispute are always wrong." —Dwight D. Eisenhower "Extreme opposites resemble the other. Each believes that we have only two choices: appeasement or war, suicide or surrender, humiliation or holocaust, to be either Red or dead." —John F. Kennedy "When we put aside partisanship, embrace the best ideas regardless of where they come from and work for principled compromise, we can move America not left or right, but forward." —Bill Clinton "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell on the right." —Senator John McCain "Government is not a warfare of interests." —Woodrow Wilson "Just as Lincoln got contradictory advice from the extremists of both sides . . . so now I have to guard myself against the extremists of both sides." —Theodore Roosevelt
