"Would I do it again? Absolutely. Regardless of what happens to me, this is something we had a right to,"
"I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. And I saw the Constitution was being violated on a massive scale,"
"We need public oversight ... some way for trusted public figures to advocate for us. We need a watchdog that watches Congress, because if we're not informed, we can't consent to these (government) policies."

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
Franz Kafka
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

Every good picture leaves the painter eager to start again, unsatisfied, inspired by the rich mine in which he is working, hoping for more energy, more vitality, more time - condemned to painting for life.

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

No one is so happy or sad as he imagines.
It is the happiest thing to have someone to divide the Forum, to write texts and to post pictures.
I was not alone, I have so many friends in here that I just can not count but suddenly I feel the joy of having someone that shares the same way of seeing the world and that is very good for someone like me.
I hope you stay for long Godric, it is nice to see the evolution on your posts on a dayly basis, this last "Today in History" is something of good taste, I am sure we will improve the team and make the forum better.
If I had lost twin I am sure it would be you, inspite of the great difference in age. Thanks for sharing with us your artistic vein and good taste.

No problem!!!
He cannot rule the great who cannot rule the small.
No facts are sacred, none are profane.
Faith will not die while seed catalogs are printed.
Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
Public speaking takes a two minute idea, and a two hour vocabulary.
The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.
All work and no play makes jack. And lots of it.
God gives us relatives; thank God we can chose our friends.
Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.
Faith goes out through the window when beauty comes in at the door.
“My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed.”

“Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!”
- Pat Riley
“A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.”
- Shissai
“Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price.”

- Abraham Lincoln
“Conflict will remain complex and chaotic, and human frailties and irrationality will continue to characterize war’s nature. Just as in the past, the root causes of future conflicts will arise from fear, hatred, greed, honor, and ambition. The human dimension of war defies simple logic. For that reason, understanding as much as possible about this dimension becomes critical to influencing and achieving favorable outcomes in future conflicts.”
- US Army study of Human Dimension
Everything bows to success, even grammar.
Everyone complains of his memory, no one of his judgment.
