One of Matt's favorite quotes is:""Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn't allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians."
"Quemadmodum gladius neminem occidit, occidentis telum est."
Latin: "A sword never kills anybody; it is a tool in the killer's hand."
"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."
"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
"Sinning wouldn't be so popular if it's wages were paid immediately"
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not....Expand for more
The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence, determination and hard work make the difference
"When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut."
"In Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alone; but sometimes it is a great relief."
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter."
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."
Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
“If you lose your wealth, you have lost nothing,
If you lose your health, you have lost something,
But if you lose your character, you have lost everything.”
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
"Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken."
"It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not."
"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."
"I have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret...if you have any sense....And if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid."
