One of Vince's favorite quotes is:"I happen to agree with the next few quotes... "How the Fcuk did THAT happen?!?? -Anonymous "I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand." -Susan B Anthony, from a speech in San Francisco, July 1871 "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love" "That which does not kill us only makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzche The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese! - Steven Wright Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. - Albert Einstein “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” —Albert Einstein "I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody." - Louis L'Amour "There are people who love you, Faith. Or who one day will. Even if you can't see them beside you, right here, right now, they're out there. But if you let the dark get into your eyes, you might never find them. So it's best to keep a little light with you, along the way. Do you think you can remember that?" - Harry Dresden, Wizard This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. -John Steinbeck 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 which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -John Stewart Mill I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I expect the same from them. -John Wayne in "The Shootist" Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. -Unknown Experience is a hard teacher. You get the test first, the lesson later. -Unknown Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it 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 "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While thi...Expand for more
s gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785 "I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a Sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?" --Benjamin Franklin, Motion for Prayers in the Constitutional Convention, 1787 "A sword never kills anybody; it is a tool in the killer's hand." -- Lucius Annaeus Seneca, c. 4BC - 65AD "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Thomas Jefferson "There are no such things as dangerous weapons. There are only dangerous men." -- Robert Heinlein, Methuselah "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at 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 know neither victory or defeat." - -Theodore Roosevelt 1910 At least once, everyone should have to run for his life, so he will know that eggs don't come from stores, that safety does not come from police, and that 'news' is not something that happens to other people. --Robert Heinlein "This country wasn't built by men who sought handouts. In its brilliant youth, this country showed the rest of the world what greatness was possible to Man and what happiness is possible on Earth. Then it began apologizing for its greatness and began giving away its wealth, feeling guilty for having produced more than its neighbors. ... Examine your values and understand that you must choose one side or the other. Any compromise between good and evil only hurts the good and helps the evil." - Ayn Rand". More about Vince:"I'm a regular kinda guy. I like working out, both in martial arts and at the gym. I do so daily. I have a love/hate relationship with running. I do it anyway. I am a Combat Arnis Martial Arts instructor and an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor. Pistol, Rifle & Shotgun. I teach the State of Florida Concealed Weapons course. I'm old enough to know what I like and what I don't like. I'm not scared to say so. In spite of that I'm still pretty easy to get along with. I tend to dress in darker colors...most of the time... I like both cats AND dogs. I have only seen snow twice in my life. I hate the word "hate". I am a carnivore and proud of it. Yes, that means I hunt too. I am a grandfather. I am literate. That means I can read AND write AND spell. I hope/pray that you can too. I do know the difference between "your" and "you're". I also know that "y'all" is singular and "All y'all" is plural. I am probably the toughest Librarian you will ever meet. Beer is an acquired taste, and I have definitely acquired a taste for it. I like Classic Muscle cars. I have ink, quite bit. I DO support our troops. I don't care if you like it me or not. I am an unrepentant sinner.".
