Imposter Syndrome

"While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass."

The great modern thinker who said that once described himself as such:

"You might say that Lyndon Johnson is a cross between a Baptist preacher and a cowboy."

He also said, in no particular order:

  • "You aren't learning anything when you're talking."
  • "The noblest search is the search for excellence."
  • "Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right."
  • "Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath."
  • "I want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of women."
  • "I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it."


As well as

  • "There are plenty of recommendations on how to get out of trouble cheaply and fast. Most of them come down to this: Deny your responsibility."
  • "We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood."
So, who will you cast your vote to in the upcoming European elections?
