    If you have got the public in the palm of your hand, you can be sure that is where they want to be.

    I know that I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
