Either you think--or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.

Reinhold Niebuhr


God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, �Journal, 1860


The teaching of politics is that the Government, which was set for protection and comfort of all good citizens, becomes the principal obstruction and nuisance with which we have to contend� The cheat and bully and malefactor we meet everywhere is the Government.

Doctor Who


The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views...which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

Famous Quotes:

Hannah Arendt


Action without a name, a 'who' attached to it, is meaningless.

Unknown


Everything you do or say is public relations.

Carl Sagan


The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.

Hilaire Belloc


All men have an instinct for conflict at least, all healthy men.

Epictetus

Publilius Syrus

Carlos Castaneda


The basic difference between an ordinary person and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary person takes everything as a blessing or a curse.

Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking, 1973


Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobience


The only obligation which I have a right to assume, is to do at any time what I think right.
