Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give it to those who are not.
...Thomas Jefferson
Always do what's right.
Always do the best in what you do.
and
Always treat others like you want to be treated
It is what it is,
What you see is what you get.
Any day above grade is a good day.
It just doesn't get much better than this.
Life is Good.
This is a good day to be alive
because the alternative sucks.
Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter

does not first take from somebody else.
*

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 is the beginning of the end of
any nation!
*
*Can you think of a reason for not sharing this?
*
*Neither could I .......*".
