About Me

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."-Benjamin Franklin
Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
[Better freedom with danger than peace with slavery].

"The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government."
—George Washington, Farewell Address, September 17, 1796
"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it." —Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C., March 4, 1861
Edward R. Murrow: We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt: The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government.
Goethe: None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.
Jesse Jackson: No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to flee and fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
"Perhaps the most important thing you can do is be there for others, help them believe in themselves, offer real compassion - not the condescension of charity - when it is needed. But there is no formula for this; mercy comes in the least predictable forms and from the most unexpected sources. Often it takes a person who has suffered something similar to be able to offer real succor to one who is suffering or struggling. That's another reason why it is good that we have all chosen different paths and suffered different things, even things that seemed to isolate us - why there is a place even for spoiled rich kids and homeless drug addicts and lovers who have lied and betrayed in this sruggle: for who else could relate to others in those difficult situations, offer them guidance and hope? When you recognize how your own tribulations have prepared you to help others, it can make sense of experiences that seem unjustifiable; at the same time, this may help you to see the importance of others who previously appeared without worth. Often we have our hands full dealing with our own pain, too consumed by bitterness and confusion to be able to offer others anything, least of all mercy. This means it is all the more critical that we not miss the opportunities we do get to be good to others - whether or not they have 'earned' it, whether or not we understand them, whether or not we think it will make a difference."
...but there are points in time where some people just need to be punched in the face.
