person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
-- Mark Twain |

enough to take everything you have. -- Thomas Jefferson |

looking for oil, you don't need to stop in Israel, but if you go
looking for brains, energy, and integrity, it is the only stop.

The reasoning mind cannot work
under any form of compulsion, it cannot
be subordinated to the needs, opinions or wishes of others. It is
not
an object of sacrifice. The creator stands on his own judgment,
the
parasite follows the opinion of others. The creator thinks, the
parasite copies. The creators concern is the conquest of nature,
the
parasites concern is the conquest of man.
--Howard Roark

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and
to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what
has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the
Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will
be anarchy throughout the world.
--Daniel Webster
|
To
sin
by silence when they should protest
makes cowards of men.
-- Abraham Lincoln |
Does
the government fear us? Or do we fear the government? When the
people fear the government, tyranny has found victory. The federal
government is our servant, not our master!
--Thomas Jefferson |
Freedom is never more than one
generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought
for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
--Ronald Reagan |
An
appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping
it will eat him last.
-- Winston Churchill |
SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN THE LAST
2065 YEARS ????? "
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,public
debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled, the assistance to foreign lands should becurtailed lest
Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work,instead of living
on public assistance."--CICERO, 55BC
EVIDENTLY, NOTHING
