Top of the morning friends! It is Tuesday morning as I
type.

I hope this day finds you in a great mood. Icicles are
crashing from the office roof making the place sound as
if we are under attack.

I can’t wait for spring! Chicago winters can be brutal.
Well, enough chit chat… don’t forget to go to visit
Gophertweets.com to get your favorite pub via Twitter.

Best,

The general is sorry to be informed that the foolish and
wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing — a vice
little known heretofore in the American army — is growing
into fashion. Let the men and officers reflect that we
can not hope for the blessing of heaven on our army if we
insult it by our impiety and folly.
–George Washington (1732-1799)
When it was reported to General Washington that the army
was frequently indulging in swearing

END OF QUOTE A DAY
Copyright 2010 by NextEra Media All rights reserved.

I ran across the following while reading online…and was
struck by its significance. I hope and pray that we find
the courage to face our challenges with half as much
courage as our founding fathers.

———————————–

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who
signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors
and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army,
another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships
of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.

*—- Quotes For The Week —-*

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow
sometimes in one dimension, and not in another;
unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are
mature in one realm, childish in another. The past,
present, and future mingle and pull us backward,
forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of
layers, cells, constellations.
–Anais Nin

———————————————————-

We have no government armed with power capable of
contending with human passions unbridled by morality
and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry
would break the strongest cords of our Constitution
as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is
designed only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate for any other.
–John Adams

———————————————————-

Our obligations to our country never cease but with
our lives.
–John Adams, Letter to Benjamin Rush, 18 April 1808

[From the great military strategist, John Boyd...]

By ‘uncertain’ knowledge, let me explain, I do not
mean merely to distinguish what is known for certain
from what is only probable. The game of roulette is not
subject, in this sense, to uncertainty…The sense in
which I am using the term is that in which the prospect
of a European war is uncertain, or the price of copper
and the rate of interest twenty years hence…About
these matters there is no scientific basis on which to
form any calculable probability whatever. We simply
do not know.
–John Maynard Keynes (1937)
