Two Quotes; One for the Neocons, The Other for the Progressives

To the neocons - "No war plan survives five minutes contact with the enemy." German General, Helmuth von Moltke (the younger one, I believe).............To the progressives - "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, nothing straight can be built." Immanuel Kant, 1784.

Yeah, I was definitely more of a Hume guy myself (just for the clarity of the writing, similar in style to Bastiat).
