Campaigns are fun. campaigns are police escorts, they're airplanes, they're crowds, they're balloons, they're bands, a lot of fun. you speak in vague generalities. you get applause for slogans. and then governing comes. and governing is tedious and it's difficult an it's time-consuming and it demands your attention. and policy isn't vague generalities. it's specifics and it's based on knowledge.

More From Mark Shields

Airplanes were invented by natural selection. now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes. there were probably at least 30,000 different things tried, and when they crash and kill the pilot, don't try that again.

I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. then i'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist

Crowds of bees are giddy with clover crowds of grasshoppers skip at our feet, crowds of larks at their matins hang over, thanking the lord for a life so sweet.

I think the whole concept behind lyrics is you better mean what you say, or you should like, become a storyteller. i mean, there's a lot of bands who are just storytellers, and then there are bands who actually have something valid to say. and the bands who have valid points are few and far between.
Mean Thinking Band
Those of you who speak only english, applaud [audience applause]. those of you who speak only spanish, applaud [audience applause]. [in mock incredulity] then how do you know what i just said?

I'm in prison. but my heart and mind is free. gangsta haters on the streets are doing more time than me. they need 30 police escorts with them every time they walk down the street.

Similar Quotes
The individual problem is the world problem. therefore let us return to the problem of individual perfection and the establishing of peace in the heart and in the mind of the individual.
Heart Perfection Mind
Our passions are the chief means of self-preservation; to try to destroy them is therefore as absurd as it is useless; this would be to overcome nature, to reshape god's handiwork. if god bade man annihilate the passions he has given him, god would bid him be and not be; he would contradict himself. he has never given such a foolish commandment, there is nothing like it written on the heart of man, and what god will have a man do, he does not leave to the words of another man. he speaks himself; his words are written in the secret heart.
Mean Passion Heart
A book is a heart that only beats in the chest of another.
Book Heart Beats
The people do not complain because they have no voice; do not move because they are lethargic, and you say that they do not suffer because you have not seen their hearts bleed.
