Favorite Quote:
"So this is how democracy ends, with thunderous applause." -- Sen. Amidala, Revenge of the Sith
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." -- Winston Churchill
"By yielding to a false form of civility, we sometimes allow our critics to intimidate us. Active citizens are often subjected to truly vile attacks. They are branded as mean-spirited, racist, Uncle Tom, homophobic, sexist, et cetera. To this we often respond, if not succumb, so as not to be constantly fighting by trying to be tolerant and non-judgmental. That is, we censor ourselves. This is not civility, it is cowardice, or well-intentioned self-deception at best." - Justice Clarence Thomas
"When you come to the edge of that you know and you are about to step off unto the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen - there will be something solid to stand on -- or we will be TAUGHT TO FLY" -Author Unknown
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams.
"They may see the good you do as self-serving, continue to do good. They may see your generosity as grandstanding, continue to be generous. They may see your warm and caring nature as a weakness, continue to be warm and caring. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway." - Author Unknown
