No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself and what he possesses else he lives precariously, and at discretion.

Latest greatest Quotes
Henrik Ibsen
Different people have different duties assigned to them by Nature Nature has given one the power or the desire to do this, and the other that. Each bird must sing with his own throat.
St. Catherine of Sienna
If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world ablaze.
William James
Our belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that assures the successful outcome of any venture.
Stephen Jay Gould
The true beauty of nature is her amplitude she exists neither for nor because of us, and possesses a staying power that all our nuclear arsenals cannot threaten (much as we can easily destroy our puny selves).
William Shakespeare
Frailty, thy name is woman
Hunter S. Thompson
In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upward mobile.
Mexican Proverb
He who divides and shares is left with the best share.
Frances Watkins Harper
Apparent failure may hold in its rough shell the germs of a success that will blowwom in time, and bear fruit throughout eternity.
Pete Incaviglia
People think we make 3 million and 4 million a year. They don't realize that most of us only make 500,000.
Percy Wynham Lewis
Sadistic excess attempts to reach roughly and by harshness what art reaches by fineness.
Alexis Charles Henri Clrel de Tocqueville
...The electoral franchise has been conferred upon the Negroes in almost all the states in which slavery has been abolished, but if they come forward to vote, their lives are in danger... The same schools do not receive the children of the black and of the European. In the theaters gold cannot procure a seat for the servile race beside their former masters in the hospitals they lie apart... Not only is slavery prohibited in Ohio, but no free Negroes are allowed to enter the territory of that state or to hold property in it.
Paul E. Pfuetze
Now the alternative to despair is courage. And human life can be viewed as a continuous struggle between these two options. Courage is the capacity to affirm one's life in spite of the elements which threaten it. The fact that courage usually predominates over despair in itself tells us something important about life. It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it.

Latest Famous Quotations
Samuel Butler
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Joseph Addison, Cato
Sweet are the slumbers of the virtuous man.
William Ralph Inge
Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due.
Joseph Addison
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Epictetus
Preach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you, and be silent.
Jane Wagner
What is reality, anyway Just a collective hunch.
Thomas Jefferson
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.
Henry Fielding
Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity then they really are.
