I know this is pure vanity, but here it is.

I'm joining a new company and they have a "Get to know your fellow employee" kind of thing. They ask your name, marital status, favorite book (The Bible), movie (Road Warrior), music (Jazz), web site (Free Republic), etc..
My dilemma is I need a favorite quote. Some quotes are good for certain situations and some are not. As I respect and admire my Freeper family, I ask for your help.

P.S. When asked; "what you want your co-workers to know about you", I penned a very pro-Second Amendment statement.

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.

"Government big enough to give to the people everything they want is powerful enough to take from the people everything they have."

Unfortunately, I don't know who first said it.

Ronald Reagan (I think).

"Dyin' ain't much of a way to make a living boy." -- Clint Eastwood in one of those spagetti westerns.

Churchill never said that. It's a myth.
