"If we don't hang together, we will surely hang separately". Ben Franklin

He had a lot of good quotes.

I always loved this one - "Do you want fries with that?"

It is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government.

OMG Borger, did you get a new job?

Surely one more suited to his qualifications.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson

Good quotes, better reminders.

Good quotes, better reminders.

We could use such reminders these days.

It's about the freedom, stupid! :AH-HA_wink:

"Just because you survived it, doesn't mean that it was ever ok"

Best advice I ever received

"Better too much than not enough"

words to live by.

Big Chicks, Big cars, Big Block V8s, Big red meat meals...

I'm going to keep buying V8s and I6s: all this insanity will settle down eventually.

A good quote for these times of high fuel prices, et al:

'Waste not, want not"... i.e.

"If we don’t waste what we have, we’ll still have it in the future and will not lack (want) it."

Moltar:

Oil/Petroleum is not exactly a fossil fuel. That's just one of the things we've

been erroneously brainwashed about in the modern age. The planet actually

regenerates much of it and like most things here on Mother earth the whole

process is still 80% mystery 20% science.

Granted there's a 99% chance we're using it faster than it is regenerating. But the

consumption is going to peek soon... alt. fuel sources are just around the corner.

Ah, like it took Mother Nature 100 million years to cook those dinosaur bones and we are using it up in, like, 100 years!

I understand your point, but there is no way Mother Nature can keep up with 6.2 billion people's demands. No way.

"Do unto others as they have done unto you"

"Fight fire with fire"

Amazes me how quickly Sept. 11th is just a passing memory to most Americans.

Right back to the status quo.

Not really, it is still hiding just under the surface. I'm still riveted as soon as an image of the towers flashes across my TV or computer screen.

In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?

-Saint Augustine

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

-P. J. O'Rourke

That government is best which governs least.

-Thomas Paine

lighter side of things...

Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

-Benjamin Franklin

"Got Time, No Money

Got Money, No Time"

"Money Can't buy Happiness"

This one has more personal meaning but I will never forget it,

"When a Soldier gets to heaven,

To Saint Peter He will Tell,

One more soldier reporting sir,

I have served my time in hell!"
