If you woke up this morning
and there wasn't six feet of dirt in your eyes, it's going to be a pretty good
day.
No one can foretell the
future, but it can be certain that an optimist will have an optimistic future, while
a pessimist will have a pessimistic future.

Stupidity, too, is a gift
from God, but it shouldn't be abused.
Consensus is the
absence of leadership.
None are more hopelessly
enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
The first and last thing
required of genius is the love of truth.
To be pleased with one's
limits is a wretched state.
There is nothing worse than
aggressive stupidity.
Daring ideas are like
chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Knowledge will forever
govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm
themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular
information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a
tragedy or perhaps both.
I cannot undertake to lay
my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress
of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.
Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.
When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new guards for their future security.
Those who have the ability to take action have
the responsibility to take action.
Nicholas
Cage (as Benjamin Franklin Gates) in
National
Treasure (2004)
Beer is living proof that
God loves us and wants us to be happy.
All mankind is divided into
three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that
move.
Any society that would give up
a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Either write something worth
reading or do something worth writing about.
Even peace may be purchased
at too high a price.
We will always remember. We
will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free
President
Ronald Reagan
A friend of mine was asked to
a costume ball a short time ago. He slapped some egg on his face and went as a
liberal economist.
President
Ronald Reagan
Republicans believe every
day is 4th of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15.
The other day, someone told
me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same
difference between a jacket and a straitjacket.
President
Ronald Reagan
I know what it's like to pull
the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat
myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just
great.
I've been criticized for
going over the heads of the Congress. So, what's the fuss? A lot of things go
over their heads.
America is too great to
dream small dreams.
Government is not the
solution to our problems. Government IS the problem!
You may think this a little
mystical, and I've said it many times before, but I believe there was a Divine
Plan to place this great continent here between the two oceans to be found by
peoples from every corner of the earth. I believe we were preordained to carry
the torch of freedom for the world.
President
Ronald Reagan
Whatever else history may
say about me when I’m gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best
hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My
dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty’s lamp guiding your
steps and opportunity’s arm steadying your way.
We've done our part. And as
I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the
Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for 8 years did the
work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking
time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer,
and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.
Republic. I like the sound
of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell,
be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic
is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a
man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes
his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your
heart warm. Republic is one of those words.
The Alamo (1960)
The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant
in the universe.
DeForest
Kelley (as Dr.
Leonard "Bones" McCoy) in
Star
Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
You never make the poor rich
by making the rich poor.
People are not happy with the status quo. People want honest government.
Other nations in history
have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans,
following a battle, want nothing more than to return home.
President
George W. Bush
Leaders
lead; politicians play politics.
Rush Limbaugh, July 12,
2007
Government
cannot control an awakened citizenry. Graham Hancock on Coast To Coast AM with Art Bell December 29, 2006 A fine is a tax for doing wrong; a tax is a fine for being
successful. Roger
Hitchcock on the
Rush Limbaugh show Those who seek the Truth find it. Politicians who promise you the sky usually deliver nothing but hot air. If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your
plans. anonymous January 2, 2007
