"Patriotic dissent is a luxury for those protected by better men than they."

Economic Quote

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy
out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another
person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to
anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody
else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to
work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the
other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody
else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about
the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

The late Dr. Adrian Rogers

Verses from Mother Teresa

These verses are engraved on the walls of Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta.

People are often unreasonable, illogical,
and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some
false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone
could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Quotes I like...

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."

'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.' So... if you give her crap, you will receive more shit than any one human being can handle.'

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

"Even if the majority agrees on an idiotic idea, it is still an idiotic idea."

"The greatness of this or any country may still be measured by the number of people trying to get IN vs. the number trying to get OUT."

"You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power"
Glinda the Good Witch

"Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is right, even if nobody is doing it."

"Wipe your mouth, threre's still a little bit of bullshit around your lips!"
Maxine

"Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."
