Greetings fellow quote lovers:
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

You shall have world government, whether or not you like
