“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” – Albert Einstein

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst

January 22

'Fellow citizens: I have been solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet like the old woman's dance. I am in favor of the national bank; I am in favor of the internal improvement system and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. If elected I shall be thankful; if not it will all be just the same.'

- Abraham Lincoln [aged 23]

'Be sincere; be brief; be seated.'

- Franklin D. Roosevelt
