It's quotes weekend! What are your favorite quotes? Some of my favorites:
"I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision." --Carl Sandburg
"It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them." --Mark Twain
"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love." --Jane Austen
"Go F**ck yourself!"- Vice-President Dick Cheney to Sen. Patrick Leahy(D)
2nd favorite quote:
Vice President Dick Cheney cursed at Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, in a confrontation on the Senate floor while members were having their annual group picture taken earlier this week. . . . According to [an] aide, Mr. Cheney . . . responded with a barnyard epithet, urging Mr. Leahy to perform an anatomical sexual impossibility. —The Washington Times.
That never gets old, makes me laugh everytime I read it.
Adorable.

My favorite quotes are mostly from Ronald Reagan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free. (Ronald Reagan)
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' (Ronald Reagan)
My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes. (Ronald Reagan)
Si vis pacem, para bellum (Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus)
Molon Labe (King Leonidas I)
''There is no distinctly American native criminal class -- except Congress.''
-- Mark Twain
likewise, the opposite of progress is congress...
