"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors."
-George Washington

"If you are not in a position to be harmed by the actions you champion, you should be very circumspect about suggesting them, never mind agitating actively for their implementation. I don't give a fig if Warren Buffet thinks taxes are too low. All he's saying is that he's so rich and so old that he can afford to purchase a tax increase on me with the influence his money can bring."

-Sippican Cottage
