There are only two kinds of people in the end; those who say to God,
"Thy will be done," and those to whom God says in the end, "Thy will be done." - C.S. Lewis |

Anyone can count the seeds
in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed. Tough times never last, but tough people do. |

Quotes by President Ronald Reagan |

| The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution. | ||||||||||||||
| Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. | ||||||||||||||

Our coins bear the words 'In God
We Trust'. We take the oath of office asking His help in keeping that oath.
And we proclaim that we are a nation under God when we pledge allegiance to
the flag. But we can't mention His name in a public school or even sing
religious hymns that are nondenominational. Christmas can be celebrated in
the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no
mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a
teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas. Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. |

You
don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. A fanatic is a person who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. A nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it. The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery. Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried. The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. Give me the facts, and I will twist them the way I want, to suit my argument. |

I never give them hell. I just
tell the truth and they think it's hell. If you cannot convince them, confuse them. |

America is great because
she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will
cease to be great. Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. |

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere,
diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member. |

Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. Francis Bacon |

Everywhere is within walking distance if you
have the time. I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. I went to a restaurant that serves breakfast "at any time", So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance. Steven Wright |

I am so busy doing nothing... that the idea of
doing anything - which as you know, always leads to something - cuts into
the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.

As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another - Proverbs 27:17 Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. - Proverbs 16:3 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

strength, |
