Thoughts While Watching Jag Watch Legislators
I hear and I forget. I see
and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
Liberty has never come from the
government.
Liberty has always come from the subjects of government.
The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of
liberty is a history of
limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Nadia Boulanger
Our way is not soft grass, it's a mountain
path with lots of rocks.
But it goes upwards, forward, toward the sun. Ruth Westheimer
Kindness makes a fellow feel good, whether
it's being done to him or by him. Frank A. Clark
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the
music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
It's never too late to be what you might
have been. George
Eliot
There is a sense of exhilaration that comes from facing
head-on the hard truths and saying, "We will never give up.
We will never capitulate. It might take a long time,
but we will find a way to prevail." Jim
Collinst
Those who turn good (organizations) into great
(organizations)
are motivated by a deep creative urge and an inner
compulsion
for sheer unadulterated excellence for its own sake. Jim
Collins
I believe the recipe for happiness to be just enough money
to pay the monthly bills you acquire, a little surplus to give you
confidence, a little too much work each day,
enthusiasm for your work, a substantial share of good health, a
couple of real friends and a wife and children to share life's
beauty with you. J. Kenfield Morley

laugh at themselves,

Joe: "I see you've lost weight since you started your new
job.
Did your boss put you on a diet?"
Bill: "No, he put me on a commission."

Taxpayer; someone who works
for the federal government
but doesn't have to take the civil service examination. Ronald

Our Constitution works.
Our great republic is a government of laws, not of men. Gerald
Ford
The wisdom of man never
yet contrived a system of taxation
that would operate with perfect equality. Andrew Jackson
