The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.

Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.

Two rules:1. Preserve the principal2. When in doubt see Rule #1

First rule of politics: you can't win unless you're on the ballot. Second rule: If you run, you may lose. And, if you tie, you do not win.

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.

I'm a Christian first, and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don't you ever forget it.
