Some excellent quotations....


They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759



No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. ~Frederick Douglass, speech, Civil Rights Mass Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1883



We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. ~Edward R. Murrow


I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery. ~Author Unknown



Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. ~D.H. Lawrence, Classical American Literature, 1922



And if I may be permitted;
  I would rather have a right and see it abused then not have the right at all.
Always try and be the person your dog thinks you are.

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

My favorite quote remains the same as it was two years ago

"Eweergth goldepla mamnt"- Helen Keller:D
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty
