The United States troops are not defending anything. They are engaging in the offense: intervening, violating, invading, occupying, killing, maiming, destroying, and making widows and orphans.– Laurence M. Vance

Unfortunately, the population of these United States are being preyed upon by the criminals, the banksters, and our own unethical government leaders!! We are not a population to be educated and made godly; we are a population to be used and exploited to the greatest extent possible!! Welcome to subversion 101 " hooking the entire population on drugs and fantasy "!!- Cousin Lucky

What Lies Behind Us and What Lies Before Us are Tiny Matters Compared to What Lies Within Us

I've always attributed this to Ralph Waldo Emerson, but as I was drawing a blank as to his full name I came across this: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/01...t-lies-within/, in a google search, which is quite interesting.


Also, refer to my signature for my favorite quote.

Just to make sure the original(believed) author is included in this post here is a direct quote from the site:
"The Library of Congress Online Catalog lists Henry Stanley Haskins as the author of Meditations in Wall Street and it also notes that originally the author was anonymous." - Meditations being the first assumed place this quote appeared.

Quote:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from C'est la vie (phrase))
English contains many words of French origin, such as art, competition, force, machine, money, police, publicity, role, routine, table, and many other anglicized French words. These are pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French. Around 45%[1] of English vocabulary is of French origin, most coming from the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

“The vitality of civil and political institutions in our society depends on free discussion… [I]t is only through free debate and free exchange of ideas that government remains responsive to the will of the people and peaceful change is effected. The right to speak freely and to promote diversity of ideas and programs is therefore one of the chief distinctions that sets us apart from totalitarian regimes.”—Justice William O. Douglas, Terminiello v. City of Chicago (1949)

If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.– George Washington

If the welfarist-socialist-inflationist- trend of recent years continues in this country, the outlook is dark. It is a prospect of mounting taxation, snowballing expenditures, chronic deficits, a budget out of control, an accelerating rate of inflation of the kind endemic in Latin America (at least for the last generation), a collapse of the dollar, increasing world currency chaos, and more and more ruthless price, wage, and exchange controls, leading toward a regimented economy and dictatorship. And if this trend is interrupted temporarily, it may be by riots, assassinations, and a breakdown of law and order.– Henry Hazlitt

Travelers have suffered unnecessary delays and harassment from the TSA for nearly 15 years. It’s time to turn to a truly private alternative. It would make us safer, less hassled and freer.– Benjamin W. Powell,
