We should also not give in to dogma, or to those who shout the loudest
and complain the longest, for that is not democracy. We should
continue to have a reasoned debate about the best fundraising

There are those who have values, but no reason.

If we are to succeed, we need both. Senseless passion can be as
dangerous as heartless calculation.
