On Judgment and Politics by BCE (Before the Common Era) Greek and Roman Philosophers

"Men of ill judgment ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it." Sophocles (496 to 406 BCE)

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." Plato (428 to 348 BCE)

"An orator without judgment is a horse without a bridle." Theophrastus (371 to 287 BCE)

"It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment." Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 to 63 BCE)

"A hasty judgment is a first step to recantation." Publilius Syrus (85 to 43 BCE)

Today's Thoughts

Anger and Arrogance are not qualities needed from leaders who are expected to care about the welfare of their nation!

Political Parties are effective in making positive changes only and only if they work towards the betterment of their country and not for their party's gains!

Some politicians seriously believe the following quote by Malcolm Forbes:
"There's nothing wrong with nepotism as long as you keep it in the family"!!!!!
