About this Quote

This quote by Dwight Morrow is a cautioning to political celebrations that they need to not take credit for successes that run out their control. If a celebration takes credit for something like the rain, they should not be amazed if their challengers blame them for something like a dry spell, which is also out of their control. This quote is a pointer that political celebrations should not take credit for things that are beyond their control, as it can lead to criticism and blame for things that are likewise out of their control. This quote is likewise a pointer that political celebrations should focus on the things that they can manage, such as policy and legislation, and not take credit for things that run out their control. This quote is a suggestion that political celebrations must be modest and focus on the important things that they can control, rather than taking credit for things that run out their control.
