Random quote of the day:
“To ‘know your place’ is a good idea in politics. That is not to say ‘stay in your place’ or ‘hang on to your place,’ because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place—a feel for one’s own position in the control room—is useful in gauging what you should try to do.”
—William Safire, Before the Fall
