Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.

Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.

Summary

This quote means that even the seemingly negative or unpleasant aspects of life can have some positive or beneficial elements. Just like sweets always have a hint of sourness, and every evil deed can lead to something good. It emphasizes the idea that there is a duality in everything, and that we shouldn't always see things in black and white. It reminds us to look for the silver lining or the lessons in challenges, as they can ultimately lead to growth, resilience, and positive outcomes.

The President is also captured in a well-worn TV news clip, making a boilerplate response to a question on terrorism and then asking the reporters to watch his drive. Well, that's what you get if you catch the President on a golf course. If Eisenhower had done this, as he often did, it would have been presented as calm statesmanship. If Clinton had done it, as he often did, it would have shown his charm.
