“Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.” – Dr. Ben Carson
“It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives.” – Samuel Johnson
Every day, our lives of reading, thinking, and customs we choose to follow are on display as if a living parade of standards kept, and those abandoned. Our choices define us all in how we will be seen by the wisest among those who come to know us. Let us choose wisely while we can. It reflects on the legacy we may leave behind.
“There is no more certain sign of a narrow mind, of stupidity, and of arrogance, than to stand aloof from those who think differently from us.” – Walter Savage Landor
Regardless of political or other stance, there are only rare moments in history in which, whatever position one has taken, it cannot be sharpened or made more useful by at least considering the thoughts of others.
“The United States have adventured upon a great and noble experiment, which is believed to have been hazarded in the absence of all previous precedent – that of total separation of Church and State. No religious establishment by law exists among us. The conscience is left free from all restraint, and each is permitted to worship his Maker after his own judgment.” – John Tyler
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.” – Karl Popper
This is precisely the issue we have going on with the DSA, the radical Islamists, and their fellow travelers on the Far Left. We must act to protect and preserve our Western Civilization or our tolerance will result in the loss of all we hold dear.
“There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.” – William Henry Harrison
“When you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” – Robert Schuller
“The less government interferes with private pursuits, the better for general prosperity.” – Martin Van Buren
“Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world.” – Roald Dahl
“I quote others only in order the better to express myself.” – Michel de Montaigne
For those who are wondering, the move is going fairly well. I should have my internet connected and my computer up and running this coming Tuesday.
