[G.I.B.]

This is one of my favorite quotations.


Mark Twain:


Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

[Old Dog]

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.



What one person receives without working for it, another person must work for it 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

[diggemall]

Better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
