"An individual acting from a state of fully developed, indigenous power is invincible. That person has great strength and character, and is immune to fear, anger, jealousy, and all the lower emotions. This person is aware that their essential nature is Divine Love and that the true nature of every other person on the planet is the same. Nothing shakes this person of their resolve."
- Common Sense; Revisited
"This same man examines the Heavens, the Earth, the Seas, and the Universe as a whole, aiming to discover the origin and destiny of living things, when and how they die, which of them is mortal and perishable and which divine and eternal. In the end he will come nearer to a comprehension of the being who guides and regulates them all. And Eventually he will realize that he himself is not confined by the walls of anyone's city, but is a citizen of the whole universe."
- Cicero
"Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom."
- Albert Einstein
"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value."
- Thomas Paine
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
- Goethe
"I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power (of money) should be taken from the banks and returned to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
"
- Ernest Hemingway
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
- Thomas Jefferson
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
"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
"The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their [monetary system], which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of King George III and the international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War."

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

What I went through after seeing Snakes on a Plane:
***** Random funny picture of the day/week/month/year/till I feel like changing it. *****
Horrible, but delightfully hilarious:
DAMN YOU, KOREANS! STOP EATING OUR DOMESTIC ANIMALS AND GO BACK TO YOUR SPEED SKATING AND VIDEO GAME ADDICTIONS.
Sophie will be none too happy about the Funny Pic.
"You can have all the faith you want in spirits and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, dont be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways."
Strangely, this is EXACTLY what I always thought it would be.
