“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Cesare Beccaria
“The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.” – John Hay (1838-1905)
“Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.” – Samuel Adams (1749)
“We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.” – Wernher von Braun, rocket scientist (23 Mar 1912-1977)
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” – Patrick Henry (1775)
“Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.” – Justice William O. Douglas (1898-1980)
“The natural cure for an ill-administration, in a popular or representative constitution, is a change of men.” – Alexander Hamilton (1787)
Seasoned Days
by Michael Doyle
May your daily conversation
Filled as it is with God's grace
Be one of spiritual connection
And welcoming to God's embrace
Seen in the faces of the past
Is the dreamers of vast legacy
Seizing the days that would not last
But knowing each moment intimately
May we, ourselves, live through
All of our well seasoned days
Sharing with the others a Godly view
Worn adorned in all of our ways
Live there with great confidence
Provided with God's Holy resplendence
Living each moment in answered prayer
Offering hope and joy from Satan's snare
The revival needed in our own life
That brings us peace instead of strife
Walks as it is in our being contented
Instead of troubled by all we've invented
Bravely emboldened as we are
We lift our voices to Heaven
Living our lives sacred moments
Holy as if bites of bread unleavened
The days spin by in their haste
Yet, let's take our moments to praise
And that bread's intended taste
Living His faithfulness as our own ways
