Everybody has at least one they love. From a movie, a song, or even your own. Serious, funny, poetic...we all have at least one quote that sums it up, leaves an impression, or puts it like no other. Let me start ya out...

"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. "

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for."

--Oscar Wilde

"Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Something to keep in mind with all the bailouts of the private sector by government going on right now....

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."
Benito Mussolini, 1883-1945, Fascist dictator of Italy


"Most people love you for who you pretend to be... to keep their love, you keep pretending--performing. You get to love your pretense... it's true, we're locked in an image, an act.
And, the sad thing is, people get so used to their image--they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And, if you try to remind them, they hate you for it. They feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession." - James Douglas Morrison, lead singer of the Doors

"I don't have a drinkin' problem. I drink and I fall down. No problem." - Hank Williams






(this phrase has evolved (with slight changes) into a common bumper sticker phrase, and Ol' Hank never gets any credit for it - and he was saying this almost 60 years ago......)
