Please post your favorite quotes. I will start it off with this:

"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." -- Sir Winston Chruchill

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” -- Samuel Adams

Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honor.

[Digginman]

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"
Ronald Wilson Reagan.

[DigginThePast]

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

- Thomas Jefferson

[Kiwijohn]

" You can't multiply the wealth by dividing it "

Something Pres. Obama should think about.

[DigginThePast]

The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.

- John Adams

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by
legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person
receives without working for, another person must work for
without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody
anything that the government does not first take from
somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that
they do not have to work because the other half is going to
take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea
that it does no good to work because somebody else is going
to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the
end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing
it."

~ ~ ~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 to 2005 ~~~

"As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also." -- Thomas Jefferson

"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted." ~ James Madison

"Extreme cases of oppression justify… a resort to the original right of resistance, a right belonging to every community, under every form of Government…" ~~ James Madison

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ~~ Henry David Thoreau

[oneeye]

What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is one who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction." ~~ Thomas Jefferson
