GREAT TRUTHS

1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.
-- John Adams
-----------------------------
2. If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.
-- Mark Twain
--------------------------
3. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of
Congress. But then I repeat myself.
-- Mark Twain
---------------------------
4. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
--Winston Churchill
-----------------------------
5. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on
   
the support of Paul.
-- GeorgeBernard Shaw
----------------------------
6. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

--James Bovard,
Civil Libertarian (1994)

------------------------------------
7. Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean
     politics won't take an interest in you!
       -- Pericles
(430 B.C.)

---------------------------------
8. No man's life, liberty, or
    property is safe while the
    legislature is in session.
      -- Mark Twain (1866)

大家真理的复数形式truths都是怎样发音的?如果省事就可以把TH省略了念成TRUCE(停战)
