~James Madison, Debates in the House of Representatives on the First Report on Public Credit, 1790

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
The foresight to know where you are going
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

I might finish the quote out by saying ... "and react double"... thinking we understand everything. ;)
