"A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top." Author Unknown

“It does not take any courage at all for a Congressman or Senator to wrap himself in the flag and say we are staying in Vietnam, because it is not their blood that is being shed.”-U.S. Senator George McGovern

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

–Michael Jordan

Lately this quote starts to dominate real life...

“Never explain―your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.” ― Elbert Hubbard

"If" "you" "ask" "me" "words," "sounds," "ideas" "are" ("mostly") "quotes" "although" "we" "can" "communicate" "with" "only" "them" "there" "are" "better" "ways..." ✌ <3 ♻

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
― Gloria Steinem

“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Beware the greedy hand of government, thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry. - Thomas Paine

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds. — Samuel Adams

“Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.”
― Ray Bradbury

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
― Buddha

It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. The funds that a government spends for whatever purposes are levied by taxation. And taxes are paid because the taxpayers are afraid of offering resistance to the tax gatherers. They know that any disobedience or resistance is hopeless. As long as this is the state of affairs, the government is able to collect the money that it wants to spend. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.- Ludwig von Mises, Human Action [1949]
