GROWING AND SWELLING...

In the presidential holidays surrounding us this month, I've been meandering through the books in my library that relate to U.S. Presidents.
One of my favorite quotes gleaned from many good presidential quotes comes from Woodrow Wilson:
"Every man who takes office in Washington either grows or swells, and when I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is growing or swelling. The mischief of that is that, when they swell, they do not swell enough to burst."
R.A.T. (Rose About Town) wishes you laughter and wisdom; the two are often combined.
