My Granddad had “If” hanging in his den, I find strength in his memory and this guidance:
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;...,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,”
The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
