Hubert H. Humphrey

“The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.”

Hubert H. Humphrey
1911 - 1978
38th VP of the United States
Serving Under Lyndon Johnson

Why is it that those with closed minds frequently have open mouths?

Wisdom and insight are not always granted
To those able to argue passionately.
To those able to wear against reason with their unending persistence.

Integrity and intelligence can often be found in a whisper.
In quiet hushed tones that the din of the world easily drowns out.

Find your inner wisdom.  Anchor it in facts, not opinions.
Despite the onslaught of blabbering nonsense you constantly hear,
Be the one to hold up the mirror that reflects reality.

Strive only to do what is right, to represent what is right
For you and those you love.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
