They don't have intelligence. They have what I like to call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences. That's how you get an island like this. From thintelligent thinking.

Gerald R. Ford

A bride is a woman with a fine prospect of happiness behind her.

Ambrose Bierce
