"There is a kind of virtue that is cheap. It consists of jumping on cost-free bandwagons of public feeling — perhaps even deeply justified public feeling — and winning approval by espousing the right opinion." from a letter from Hillsdale College

"Given the state of 'governing,' maybe that’s a good thing."

Nothing is necessary but solemn words. No effort. No action. No sacrifice. Just talk.

Well said, Doctor.
