William Proxmire Quotes

The last few years have been my happiest. I'm happy in the years that most people are blue and sad and waiting to die. I don't feel that a bit. Smiling has a lot to do with it. You can just lift your spirits by smiling a little bit.

William Proxmire

Everybody may sometimes be right; "but that's no rule," as the ghost of Giles Scroggins says in the ballad. Charles Dickens
