    Consul. In American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration on condition that he leave the country.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    I read a part of the story of my excursion to Ktaadn to quite a large audience of men and boys, the other night, whom it interested. It contains many facts and some poetry.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
