"Thus saith the LORD;
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,"

(The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah Chp. 17,v. 5)

"Labels and group labels have been and are dangerous precedents to establish. Every person, even one guilty of as heinous a crime as treason or terrorism, U.S. citizen or alien, is an individual. And every individual on the face of the earth has been “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” along with the writ of habeas corpus, freedom from self-incirmination, presumption of innonence, and the right to a speedy and fair trial based on factual evidence. To deny that these rights of any person is to essentially deny that they are truly inalienable."

"The Truth is universal:

Spiritually,
'Don't be fooled, God is not mocked; you shall reap what you sow.'

In Physics,
'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.'

And In American Politics:
'For every action taken by a public official, there is an everlasting legal precedent, be it good or bad."

"Thomas Jefferson was one of the most brilliant American founders;
he was also, unquestionably, one of the most hypocritical."

"You can live a life of thrill in two ways.
You can 'live life on the edge'
or be given wings and fly."

"He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.

His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion...

Their conclusion may be true, but it might be false for anything they know: they have never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently from them, and considered what such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrine which they themselves profess."

(John Stuart Mill, On Liberty)
