Thanks Jesse and Herman for stopping by (as always).

Jesse, you are too kind. I just try to remember these kind of lessons every day.

Herman, you got it exactly right. True statesmen have honor. So well said, and thanks for sharing it.

All the best!

This is great. I’ve always believed that statesmen are not made in the high offices fo government; they are not made in presidential palaces and certainly not in state houses. They are made from something they have within – a rare quality that distinguishes them from the masses. They are made from an inner virtue that multiplies their value to society. They do not need titles, medals, certificates or degress, They have what it takes to be statemen – honor!

Herman Najoli, October 2001, in a speech to commemorate the ‘Week of the Ring” for the intern class of the Honor Academy in Garden Valley, Texas.

You are an excellent statesman, Terry.

I would be doing quite good to attain such a level of control.
