"To find yourself, think for yourself."
Socrates
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
"Back in the thirties we were told we must collectivize the nation because the people were so poor. Now we are told we must collectivize the nation because the people are so rich." William F. Buckley Jr.
"We fight not for glory, nor wealth, nor honor, but only and alone we fight for freedom; which no good man surrenders but with his life"
Robert the Bruce
"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing."
Teddy Roosevelt
Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Ronald Reagan
How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Ronald Reagan
By simply throwing ourselves into new circumstances we do continually invent anew the orders and ornaments of architecture… In the woods on a winter afternoon one will see the origin of the stained glass window with which the gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing which stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
The ground itself predetermines all features; the climate modifies them; available means limit them; function shapes them.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Love is the virtue of the heart
Sincerity is the virtue of the mind
Courage is the virtue of the spirit
Decision is the virtue of the will
Frank Lloyd Wright
Let us learn to see things within at least far enough to grasp essential pattern in all created things. Method in creation will come freely to him who learns to see in the abstract… All my planning was devised on a properly proportioned unit system. I found this would keep all to scale, ensure consistent proportioned throughout the edifice, large or small, which thus became, like a tapestry, a consistent fabric woven of interdependent, related units, however various.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I know the price of success – dedication, hard work and the unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The more intense you feel, the sooner will be its manifestations. This is true no matter whether you feelings are sorrowful or joyful… Idealism plus human will equals unlimited existence.
Seth
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BC".
