When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

  • -- Herbert Hoover 赫伯特·胡佛

当我们生病时,我们需要一位不寻常的医生;当我们有建筑工作要做时,我们需要一个不寻常的工程师,当我们打仗时,我们需要一个不寻常的将军。只有当我们进入政界时,我们才对普通人感到满意。
