Two of my favorite are from Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."
"We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." (Also attributed as a Native American proverb)
It's a valid sentiment, but hard for me to support when there's a tremendous amount of human suffering and wasted resources as the cost.
I'd rather have no war powers granted by Congress because we know trump will ignore it anyway... One more crime to add to his pile 😓. Of course, Republicans will probably end up passing something for him no matter what Dems propose or do, so kind of pointless to pontificate.
