"May yer trails never be so smooth and predictable that you miss the adventure"

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
~Edmund Burke

'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a
shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.-- John Adams

''Life's tough......it's even tougher if
you're stupid.''
-- John Wayne

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have". Thomas Jefferson

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931
