Favorite Quotes:
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Samuel Clemens
"Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done. Today we are called once more — and it is time for our generation to answer that call." Barack Obama, 2/10/07
"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back, for their private benefit." - ROBERT A. HEINLEIN
"Ability will never catch up with the demand for it." - Malcolm Forbes
"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal', then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'." - John F. Kennedy
"A man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over a man who doesn't read at all." - Mark Twain
"If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again, and now they is asking to do it, the men better let them." - Sojourner Truth
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these" - George Washington Carver
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein
"Everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, they are not entitled to their own facts." - Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan
"If large numbers of people are interested in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it; if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them." - George Orwell
