The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should betempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands shouldbe curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. 55 B.C.

When speaking, be clear, be brief and be memorable.

If there's anything a public servant hates to do it's something for the public.
