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

for they shall never cease to be amused."

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."

but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.  Ronald Reagan

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
