[Quote No.31828] Need Area: Friends > General
"I can never join with my voice in the toast which I see in the papers attributed to one of our gallant naval heroes [May God help our country whether she is right or wrong].

[Quote No.31837] Need Area: Friends > General
"The role of government [and politicians] is commonly misunderstood. It is thought to be an impartial judge...an objective arbiter between competing interests, always asserting the common interest over the narrow interests of the competitors themselves. It is nothing of the sort [and therefore citizens should be wary and vigilant]. It has its own interests [and agenda]...its own delusions of competence...its own lusts for power and money." - Bill Bonner
Financial journalist, author and publisher.

[Quote No.31843] Need Area: Friends > General
"The so-called liberals of today have the very popular idea that freedom of speech, of thought, of the press, freedom of religion, freedom from imprisonment without trial — that all these freedoms can be preserved in the absence of what is called economic freedom [capitalism]. They do not realize that, in a system where there is no market, where the government directs everything [socialism/communism], all those other freedoms are illusory, even if they are made into laws and written in constitutions." - Ludwig von Mises
Famous Austrian economist. From his book, 'Economic Policy: Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow', published 1979.

"The awareness that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics. [For peaceful and prosperous co-existence, we must continually focus on what we have in common, rather than our differences, and use our ability to compromise so we can all win to some degree, rather than one side win and the other lose.]" - Albert Schweitzer

[Quote No.31949] Need Area: Friends > General
"Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind." - Dr. Bob Moorehead
former pastor of Seattle's Overlake Christian Church.

"The greatest threat to the future of our nation - to our freedom - is not foreign military aggression ... but the growing dependence of the people on a paternalistic government. A nation is no stronger than its people and the best measure of their strength is how they accept responsibility. There will never be a great society unless the materialism of the welfare state is replaced by individual initiative and responsibility." - Charles B. Shuman
