“Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson.”
Vernon Law

"I place economy among the first and important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy."
Thomas Jefferson

Hmmm, LOL

"There is a minority of intellectual pacifists whose real though unadmitted motive appears to be hatred of Western democracy and admiration of totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other but if one looks closely at the writings of younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the US. Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as such, but only violence used in defense of Western countries."

- George Orwell (in 1945), quoted in a letter to The Spectator

"Our habits of the heart have been subverted by the ambitions of the mind"

"If you're aware of an injustice to you self or someone else... you have the power to act. If you turn away because you believe you are helpless...
then you are!
When people in our society believe they cant as individuals, make a difference, its bad for all of us. POWERLESS people become apathetic and toss in the towel, which means others have to carry them on their backs, or they become hostile and try to tear down a system they can't understand and don't believe they can control, some of its symptoms are declining productivity and senseless violence".
COEN

"POWER is based upon PERCEPTION. If you think you've got it then you got it. If you think you don't have it, even if you've got it then you don't have it"
