and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me." - Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." --The late Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 to 2005

Bogart (smiling) "What was that for?"
Slim "Been wondering whether I’d like it.
Bogart "What’s the decision?
Slim "I don’t know yet..."
At which point she goes for another kiss and he kisses her back. Finally she stands, gives him a sidelong glance.
Slim "It’s even better when you help"
