Time hasn\'t stopped for any troubles, heartaches, or any other malfunctions of this world, so please don\'t tell me it will
stop for you.

Founding Fathers Quotes

A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of
the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be
ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.
Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, February 12, 1779

Let not my love be call\'d idolatry,

Nor my beloved as an idol show,

Since all alike my songs and praises be

To one, of one, still such, and ever so.

Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind,

Still constant in a wondrous excellence;

Therefore my verse to constancy confin\'d,

One thing expressing, leaves out difference.

\'Fair, kind, and true,\' is all my argument,

\'Fair, kind, and true,\' varying to other words;

And in this change is my invention spent,

Three themes in one, which wondrous scope affords.

  Fair, kind, and true, have often liv\'d alone,

  Which three till now, never kept seat in one.

 	--William Shakespeare
