"One of the most valuable lessons that history has to teach us is that after the most terrible frustration and discouragement, sometimes change can come so quickly and so unexpectedly, it surprises even those who have made it happen. This is particularly true in Washington. One Cabinet member in a former administration put it very well: 'The toughest job in Washington,' he said, 'is being able to tell the difference between the tides, the waves, and the ripples.' Well, actually that's been the problem with the perceptions of many of the experts and the pundits; they concentrate so much on the ripples, they can’t see the waves and the tides." —Ronald Reagan |
