Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.

Garrett MacNamara awarded by the Portuguese Navy
The Portuguese Navy honored this Monday, the Hawaiian surfer with the Naval Medal of Vasco da Gama, "as a result of his extraordinary career practicing surf, marked by excellent performance, and the example of discipline, perseverance, sacrifice and high professionalism, which contributed significantly to the promotion and dissemination of the Navy and Portugal.
"This make me realize that no matter where you come from, what you have, or what resources you have. Everything is possible here in Portugal and all must realize that, "McNamara told reporters.
The surfer promised to continue visiting Portugal and Nazareth, where "surely there are much bigger waves."
MacNamara married in Nazareth and his wife said she will try to have a new (small) surfer in Portugal ...
The surfer made history, November 1, 2011, while surfing the biggest wave ever approved, North Beach, in Nazareth.
In January 2013, the American. will have possibly beaten his record, also in Nazareth, but lacks its homologation.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
