A Liberal is one who insists that others would be as good as he is when he is at his best.
A Conservative knows that most people, most of the time, are as bad as he is when he is at his worst.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
A libertarian wants everyone else to butt out whether he is at his worst or best.
