VALENTINE'S DAY ~ 2014

"These are the times that try men's souls.  The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this time of crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." 
 ~ Thomas Paine, 1776





"We're all a little weird!  And life is weird! And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love!"

~ Dr Suess

"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained."

~ George Washington, First Inaugural Address, 1789

"When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."  ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1821

"It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue.  If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives."  ~ John Adams, 1756

"We should strive to perfect our character by acquiring the virtues of excellence.  For we are not born with them but rather by nature fitted to receive them through habit and education.  Quality is a habit ~ not an act." ~ Aristotle
