And I quote...

"The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools."--Ecclesiastes 9:17

[Rev. Powell]

 "If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you should feel pity rather than anger..."--Bertrand Russell

John 14:6 (American Standard Version)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Luke 1:68-70 (American Standard Version)
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people, And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),

[Rev. Powell]

"An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws."-Thomas Paine

[indianasmith]

This one never gets old for me:

"And finally, this question: The mystery of whose story it will be; of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad, lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it that does all these things? Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we will never die?

Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the Key that can set us free?

It's you.
You have all the weapons you need.

Now Fight."

"Patriotism is a parasite's pride--a tick boasting about the dog it feeds on, mistaking dependence for dignity."--attributed to Diogenes
