About Me

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. ~Sir Winston Churchill

It is one thing to show a man that he is in error, and yet another to put him in possession of truth. ~John Locke
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless. ~Mother Teresa
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. ~Kahlil Gibran
The problems we have created cannot be solved at the level of thinking that created them. ~Albert Einstein
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. ~Albert Einstein
Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be. ~Clementine Paddleford
To prejudge other men's notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes. ~John Locke
Examine what is said, not him who speaks. ~Arab Proverb
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
One can buy anything with money except morality. ~Jean Jacques Rousseau
The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance, and even our very existence depends on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to our lives. ~Albert Einstein
Man is born free, and everywhere he is in shackles. ~Jean Jacques Rousseau
Power is not alluring to pure minds. ~Thomas Jefferson
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin
A piece of freedom is no longer enough for human beings . . . unlike bread, a slice of liberty does not finish hunger. Freedom is like life. It cannot be had in installments. Freedom is indivisible--we have it all, or we are not free. ~Martin Luther King, Jr
People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. ~Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
Who so would be a man must be a nonconformist. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom. ~Noam Chomsky
Everything you can imagine is real. ~Pablo Picasso
Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. ~Bob Dylan
When freedom is outlawed, only the outlaws will be free. ~Tom Robbins
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. ~Malcolm X
Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. ~JFK, Jr
