Procrastination

“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.” 

― Denis Waitley

Nullification is the key not Secession

"Nullification.
Simply defined, nullification is any act, or set of actions, that results in a particular law being declared unconstitutional and rendered null, void or even just unenforceable within the borders of a state."

"Rations of Slavery"

"It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle."

P. J. O'Rourke, in Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut‎ (1996), p. 227

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. 

John Quincy Adams

A liberal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money. 

Carter Glass

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand. 

Milton Friedman

If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.

Forgotten Flowers by John Fullbright

an American solution to every world problem....

And we must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent or omniscient that we are only 6 percent of the worlds population that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem. 

-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Let us not.....

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. 

John F. Kennedy
