Collin Sexton:  

d; who put character above wealth; who possess opinions and a strong will; who are larger than their vocations; who do not hesitate to take risks; who will not lose their individuality in a crowd; who will be as honest in small affairs as in greater; who will make no compromise with wrong; whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires; who will not say they do it "because everybody else does it;" who are true to their friends through good and bad, in adversity as well as in prosperity; who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success; who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular; who can say "no" with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says "yes"." -Anonymous "If you are going to hate, then hate. Do not sleep, eat or drink, just hate, hate and hate. Then see how long your hatred lasts." -Enlightenment Guaranteed "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing more important then his own personal well being is a misarble creature and can never be free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men then himself." - John Stuart Mill "Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget the ones who dont, and know that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it, if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth the wait." "Grant me the strength to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." - Antonidas "A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is." - George R.R. Martin (From A Game of Thrones) "We speak for the dead. That's the job. We are all they got, once the Wicked rob them of their voices. We owe them that." - Capt Roy Montgomery (From Castle) "There are no victories. There is only the battle and the best you can hope for, is that you find someplace where you can make your stand." - Capt Roy Montgomery (From Castle) "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." - Gen. George Patton "For today, in the name of freedom, we take the battle to them." - Optimus Prime "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt "Remember, in order to be the best, you must lose your mind." - Dave Marshak "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 and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan "This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." -Elmer Davis “Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure.” –Thomas Jefferson "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin".
