I like Yogi Berra quotes like "It's deja vu all over again" and "We made too many wrong mistakes." But my favorite one, is when asked what his hat size was in spring training Yogi said, "I don't know. I'm not in shape yet."

"That's all the bullets we had or we'd have shot him more"

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, when the Orlando Sentinel asked why deputies shot an offender 68 times.


This criminal got pulled over on a traffic stop ended up 'executing' the deputy who stopped him, shooting him eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with the dead officer's gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit the guy 68 times.

You can set there in the dark. Staring at the night.

Or, you can get up, go over, and turn on the light.

It's a toss up:

"One man with courage makes a majority." (Andrew Jackson)

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than
the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable
for his actions. (Ronald W. Reagan)

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." (Ben Franklin)

A man who cares about nothing more than his own personal safety is a miserable creature
who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions
of better men than himself." (John Stuart Mill)

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
(Abraham Lincoln)

Live your life in such a manner that if necessary, you can look
any man in the eye and tell him to go to hell!" (Unknown)

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." — Robert A. Heinlein

[GL]

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.
--H. L. Mencken

 

[capt1989]

"We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made
only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."

And that is why the country is falling apart...

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

After taking a hot shower and resting up a bit after a very hard days work, one of my friends told me, "I feel a lot more like I do right now than I did awhile ago"! M nty

I still have that memorized after all these years. Every time I goofed off in science class, Mr. Butler would say "50 preambles on my desk tomorrow morning young man." He was one of the most talented teachers I have ever had. A photographic memory. And that is something to fascinating to witness.

I learned this one the hard way.

Sometimes, there's not a right way. Or, a wrong way. Sometimes there's only one way.
