Quote by Will Rogers

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

Summary

This quote highlights the unique characteristic of a democratic nation, emphasizing that the power lies with the people. Unlike other forms of government, where leaders can be overthrown or replaced more easily, a democratic government is bound to serve a fixed term regardless of its actions. This implies that in a democracy, it is ultimately the responsibility of the citizens to hold the government accountable and bring about any desired changes through peaceful means, such as elections, as they have the power to shape the direction of the nation.

Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay

Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay calm... even surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.
