I know not from what distant time
thou art ever coming nearer to meet me.
Thy sun and stars can never keep thee hidden from me for aye.

In many a morning and eve thy footsteps have been heard
and thy messenger has come within my heart and called me in secret.

I know not only why today my life
is all astir, and a feeling of tremulous joy is passing through my heart.

It is as if the time were come to wind up my work,
and I feel in the air a faint smell of thy sweet presence.

Rabindranath Tagore

Who said that

"It’s better to have your enemy inside your tent pissing out, then outside your tent pissing in."

Who said that?


Asked why he put all of his rivals for the Republican presidential campaign -- those he surprisingly defeated -- into his cabinet, Lincoln said that they were the best men, and the nation was in peril and needed them. Goodwin says a more likely explanation could be summed up in a phrase favored by her former employer, Lyndon Johnson: "It's better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in."
