Quote by Mark Twain

Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse

Summary

This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain and is meant to convey the importance of tackling the most difficult or unpleasant task at the beginning of the day. By associating this task with eating a live frog, which is inherently unappealing, the quote suggests that once we overcome our initial reluctance and take action on our most challenging task, the rest of the day will appear less daunting in comparison. It encourages individuals to prioritize their responsibilities and confront the most demanding tasks head-on, ultimately leading to increased productivity and a sense of accomplishment.

Government has the role of suiting people for freedom. People aren't made for freedom spontaneously. There's sort of a 19-year race between when people are born and when they become adults. And government has a role in making them, at the end of 19 years, suited to be upright, trustworthy repositories of popular sovereignty.

I came back from university thinking I knew all about politics and racism, not knowing my dad had been one of the youngest-serving Labour councillors in the town and had refused to work in South Africa years ago because of the situation there. And he's never mentioned it - you just find out. That's a real man to me. A sleeping lion.
