I just finished reading a short book about The Rule of Benedict, a summary of portions of the Rule for Monks, a monastic code developed by Saint Benedict in the early 6th century. Near the end of the code, Saint Benedict mentions that "the art of beginning and the are of quitting presuppose one another".
Now that I have finished the book, I may just pass it on the Hillary Clinton's campaign. Sen. Clinton has run a very effective campaign. However, now is the time for her to give serious consideration to practicing "the art of quitting", knowing that doing so will lead to several opportunities for her and her supporters to practice "the art of beginning". We do not yet know exactly what those opportunities will be, but they will present themselves.

Let's see if any of the campaign experts will quote Saint Benedict during Meet the Press on Sunday.
