That is why most men dread it. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: John F. KennedyLet every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick HenryGuard with jealous attention the public liberty.

09/04/03 :: Quote :: O'RourkeOne of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Arthur C. ClarkeYou can't have it both ways.
