A democratic government that respects no limits on its own power is a ticking time bomb, waiting to destroy the rights it was created to protect.– James Bovard, Attention Deficit Democracy [2006]

"Some" there implies you cant have true without false, which may be true?
Quote:
Scriptures, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.
― Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
Quote:
It is often argued that religion is valuable because it makes men good, but even if this were true it would not be a proof that religion is true. That would be an extension of pragmatism beyond endurance. Santa Claus makes children good in precisely the same way, and yet no one would argue seriously that the fact proves his existence. The defense of religion is full of such logical imbecilities. The theologians, taking one with another, are adept logicians, but every now and then they have to resort to sophistries so obvious that their whole case takes on an air of the ridiculous. Even the most logical religion starts out with patently false assumptions. It is often argued in support of this or that one that men are so devoted to it that they are willing to die for it. That, of course, is as silly as the Santa Claus proof. Other men are just as devoted to manifestly false religions, and just as willing to die for them. Every theologian spends a large part of his time and energy trying to prove that religions for which multitudes of honest men have fought and died are false, wicked, and against God.

@Mr. Alex those ones (and like sentiments) have perplexed me, as I'm sure many; one brain seven billion synapses.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

Quote:
can't wait to go to school on that first day in September. It's a sign of coming of age. They get to go to school like the big kids. For an alarmingly large number of these children, however, boredom, anxiety, and fear of learning quickly set in.

Like so many small children; I was hurt, baffled, and very angry during my very first week of school!! My dear grandfather gave me a lecture when he got home from working at the foundary!! To cut it short he told me that I can not do a thing about the weather; except to adequately prepare for it. He also told me that I can not do a thing about the opinions that other people hold about me; so it was a waste of my time to argue with them or to try and change their opinions!! My grandfather told me that I knew who I was on the inside; and that God also knew exactly who I was. My grandfather told me that learning and getting good grades is what I should be concerning myself with at school; everything else did not matter in the long run!! To this very day that lecture has served me very well!! Both adults and children can be very mean to others without any justifiable cause, reason, or facts!! Happy Father's Day!!

“The great religious leaders of the world such as Mohammed, Confucius, and the Reformers, as well as philosophers including Socrates, Plato, and others, received a portion of God’s light. Moral truths were given to them by God to enlighten whole nations and to bring a higher level of understanding to individuals...God has given and will give to all peoples sufficient knowledge to help them on their way to eternal salvation”
--LDS first presidency, 1978

“All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance
of original justice.”

— Edmund Burke.

“Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the
surrounding darkness.”

“There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving — by paying attention and doing what one thereby
discovers has to be done.”

— Aldous Huxley.

Depends on statement but usually this happens

and those "some" usually are wrong. :P

There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.– Benjamin Franklin
