The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

It's not my place to run the train
The whistle I can't blow.It's not my place to say how far
The train's allowed to go.It's not my place to shoot off steam
Nor even clang the bell.But let the damn thing jump the track
And see who catches hell. – author unknown
“It is as if Ted Bundy designed our immigration policies to ensure that the most misogynist cultures get to the head of the line. American businesses get the cheap labor, Democrats get the votes, and American girls get the rapes.” Ann Coulter.
“I know this is a terrible thing to say, but I do not believe the president loves America. He doesn’t love you, and he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t bought up to way we were brought up, and I was brought up, and I was brought up through love of this country”: Rudy Giuliani
Here are a few quotes. Unfortunately I have too many that I like.
It is all right to borrow from each other, but we must never do is borrow from our self.
-John Huston (Jake Hannaford) in The Other Side of the Wind (1972)
Well, unless we remember our yesterdays, there will be no tomorrows.
-Tom Snyder in the television show Tomorrow (June 27, 1980)
... the greatness comes not when things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes, because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
- Richard Nixon (Farewell Address to the White House Staff, August 8, 1974)
Here is one for those doing an opus.
Engineer can you shut the thing down? Fade me on out of here. ‘cause I have to leave anyway. Fade it on out. I’m gone.
-James Brown in the song Get It Together (1967)
Thank you. Here’s two quotes I just found on a Youtube video comments section:
“Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.”
“The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose it will defend itself.”
