And "a quiet life lived well" ain't fixing the problems we have in our national politics, that I can tell you ... buh-leeve me.
It would fix the problems though if everyone would dedicate themselves to a quiet life lived well because someone who keeps to themselves is someone who isn't causing any trouble in the first place.
