Good advice. Take it.
How did you manage to read "The Art of War" ?
You must have gotten a Conservative to read the big words for you.

"Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.
Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains. -
Winston Churchill"

Sir Winston was a genius.

He must have been a plagiarist, too -- or maybe you're just a moron and
Churchill is innocent:

Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at
thirty is proof of want of head. -Francois Guisot (1787-1874)

[BTW, "republican" meant something quite different in those days. It
meant more-or-less what you mean by "liberal" -- someone supporting
independence, democracy, and human rights, and opposing monarchy.]

Also:

Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at
thirty is proof of want of head. -Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929)

Proof that it took a man like Churchill to get it right.
