"Any man who seeks to deny equality among all his brothers betrays the spirit of the free and invites the mockery of the tyrant."

- President Dwight David Eisenhower, Inaugural Address, 1953

(Man! I'm blown away at the Eisenhower quotes I've read the last few months. I think I like Ike. ;) )

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
-P. J. O'Rourke
True. :sigh:

May God bless you with discomfort...
at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger...
at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears...
to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war,
so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness...
to believe that you can make a difference in this world,
so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.

Amen
Good one elanor! Another quote on similiar lines....

" I have learned silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant,
and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am
ungrateful to those teachers."

Kahil Gibran

"It is great cleverness to know how to conceal our cleverness."
--Francois Due de La Rochefoucauld

(proof that I am more clever than you all know! Heeheehee!;))

P.S. I should ask if I am cheating here.....I never even found this thread until yesterday. I have this old book of my grandfather's (he was a newspaper writer a long long time ago) called Useful Quotations. It's one of those books whose yellow pages crack and break when you turn the page. It was copyrighted in 1933, and you can pick any subject and find pages of quotations about it!! I love this book!

Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours et toujours leur donner des explications.
[Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.]
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, "Le petit Prince"/"The Little Prince"

I love that one, freespirit! :)



To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws,
to be led by permanent ideals -
that is what keeps a man patient
when the world ignores him,
and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him. -- Honore De Balzac

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives
means the most to us, we often find that it is those who,
instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have
chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a
gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with
us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us
in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not
knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the
reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
-Henri Nouwen

"Christ is the most cheap physician, he takes no fee. He desires us to bring
nothing to him but broken hearts; and when he has cured us he desires us to
bestow nothing on him but our love."

-THOMAS WATSON
(thanks to GySgt for reminding me of this one!)

Were they cool? Only as cool as autumn....

All that came out of them was quiet....Like the four seasons...

Joy does all things without concern."
