Quote of the Day

[Dave]

I'm going to try and post a Quote of the Day every so often.. might be everyday, might not.. if I see a good quote I'll post it. If any of you see a quote that you think would fit nicely here, feel free to post it.

 

Here's today's quote:

"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent may we be led, like sheep to the slaughter"

- George Washington

[AQUAMAN]

"Don't judge a book by it's cover" and " don't judge your fellow man, lest ye have walked a day in his shoes first", don't know for sure whom I am quoting, but the unknown truth sometimes is stronger than we want to believe, lest we even know firsthand. I'm kinda glad Dave started this thread, it's surely an important message that we must learn from our forefathers experiences, far too often either forgotten, or ignored, for lack of wisdom, or knowledge in our fast-paced lives.

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Tha'ts a good one. one fails to realise the beast you feed will become more hungry than your food supply.

[Dave]

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle

-Winston Churchill

[XLFD]

"When I'm listening to Woody Guthrie, Billy Bragg, or whoever, I'll cop to finding the romantic portraits of unions vs. the corporate sound machine somewhat seductive, yet I don't think Woody Guthrie would have written any songs about the SEIU racking up over $100 million in debt and writing eight-figure checks to the Democratic Party while their workers' pension plans circles the drain."

 - Mark Hemingway

[Dave]

Governments tend not to solve problems, only rearrange them

-Ronald Reagan
