"Wars are seldom caused by spontaneous hatreds between people, for peoples in general are too ignorant of one another to have grievances and too indifferent to what goes on beyond their borders to plan conquests. They must be urged to the slaughter by politicians who know how to alarm them."

One of the email newsletters I subscribe to [Information Clearing House] starts each issue with a couple of quotes ~ this was in today's ~ and WOW, do I LOVE THIS QUOTE!!! ~ Sooz


"We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity."
~ Theodore Roosevelt - (1858-1919) 26th US President

America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.

And then there is Mother Teresa;
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
