THOUGHT: Outwitted
He drew a circle that shut me out—
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

HITLER: Oct. 15th 1924, Adolf Hitler, leader of the German
anti-Semites and defeated general of the Bavarian Beer
Revolution, will not be permitted to enter Austria. If he
crosses the border he will be interned and held for deportation.
Hitler, was imprisoned in Bavaria, is to be deported to Austria,
his former country. The Austrian government say that Hitler’s
absence from Austria for twelve years means he has lost his
citizenship.
From the speech, Citizenship in a Republic, 1910
By Theodore Roosevelt
The very last thing that an intelligent and self-respecting
member of a democratic community should do is to reward any
public man because that public man says he will get the private
citizen something to which this private citizen is not entitled,
or will gratify some emotion or animosity which this private
citizen ought not to possess.
Let me illustrate this by one anecdote from my own experience. A
number of years ago I was engaged in cattle-ranching on the
great plains of the western United States. There were no fences.
The cattle wandered free, the ownership of each being determined
by the brand; the calves were branded with the brand of the cows
they followed. If on the round-up an animal was passed by, the
following year it would appear as an unbranded yearling, and was
then called a maverick. By the custom of the country these
mavericks were branded with the brand of the man on whose range
they were found. One day I was riding the range with a newly
hired cowboy, and we came upon a maverick. We roped and threw
it; then we built a little fire, took out a cinch-ring, heated
it at the fire; and the cowboy started to put on the brand. I
said to him, “It is So-and-so’s brand,” naming the man on whose
range we happened to be. He answered: “That’s all right, boss; I
know my business.” In another moment I said to him: “Hold on,
you are putting on my brand!” To which he answered: “That’s all
right; I always put on the boss’s brand.” I answered: “Oh, very
well. Now you go straight back to the ranch and get what is
owing to you; I don’t need you any longer.” He jumped up and
said: “Why, what’s the matter? I was putting on your brand.” And
I answered: “Yes, my friend, and if you will steal for me you
will steal from me.”
Now, the same principle which applies in private life applies
also in public life. If a public man tries to get your vote by
saying that he will do something wrong in your interest, you can
be absolutely certain that if ever it becomes worth his while he
will do something wrong against your interest.
