Just read on the forum "Eternal Vigilance Is The Price We Pay For Freedom" ( T- Jefferson ).
I love these kinds of sayings because the wisdom in this one line is deeper than 1,000 words spewed out by most people these days.
Another one I love( but do not know the exact wording sorry ) is: "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both" Hope Im close....
Please share you favorite MEANINGFUL quotes. I'd love to hear them
Alexis de Tocqueville,......said : "Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the greatness and the genius of America . . . America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." The Declaration of Independence
I especially like that last bit. It encompasses a sense of commitment and dedication to a cause and to each other that I've always looked for in life but have yet to really find. But these gentlemen meant it.
"Life is a really big game & money is a really stupid way to keep score." My Grandfather
"I didn't do it!!" Bart Simpson
"A ship in a harbor is safe but that's not what ships are built for."
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
–Mark Twain
Seems like something to live by
