It\'s difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country
because food isn\'t available.
Ronald Reagan
CXLV
Those lips that Love\'s own hand did make,
Breathed forth the sound that said \'I hate\',
To me that languish\'d for her sake:
But when she saw my woeful state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was us\'d in giving gentle doom;
And taught it thus anew to greet;
\'I hate\' she alter\'d with an end,
That followed it as gentle day,
Doth follow night, who like a fiend
From heaven to hell is flown away.
\'I hate\', from hate away she threw,
And sav\'d my life, saying \'not you\'.
--William Shakespeare
Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically
the only excuse the government has for even existing.
Ronald Reagan
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. --Albert Einstein
