Quotations from Brainy Smurf 138
"The man who prefers his country before any other duty shows the same spirit as the man who surrenders every right to the state. They both deny that right is superior to authority." --Lord Acton, historian (1834-1902)
"The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions."
--Robert Brault
"Count no day lost in which you waited your turn, took only your share and sought advantage over no one." --Robert Brault
"I pray that an omnipotent providence will summon all persons of goodwill to to the realization of the utter futility of war. We have known the bitterness of defeat, the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned that there is no turning back. We must preserve in peace, what we won in war.
The destructiveness of the war potential, through progressive advances in scientific discovery has in fact now reached a point that revises the traditional concept of war. War, the most malignant scourge, and greatest sin of mankind, can no longer be controlled, only ABOLISHED!
We are in a new era. If we do not devise some greater and more equitable means of settling disputes between nations, Armageddon will be at our door. We have had our last chance."
--Douglas MacArthur, (U.S.) General of the Army
"Humor is the spiciest condiment in the feast of existence. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them, joke over your troubles but gather strength from them, make a jest of your difficulties but overcome them." --Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of the Island
"Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them." --Bill Vaughan
