Quotes
"Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so."
- Ronald Reagan
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
- George Washington
Chi Alpha Omega Alumnus
"In regard to this great book (the Bible), I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to men. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it."
- Abraham Lincoln
Tyranny is so generally established in the rest of the world that the prospect of an asylum in America for those who love liberty gives general joy, and our cause is esteemed the cause of all mankind…we are fighting for the dignity and happiness of human nature. Glorious it is for the Americans to be called by Providence to this posit of honour. Cursed and detested will everyone be that deserts or betrays it.
- Benjamin Franklin
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
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
- Patrick Henry

What a peaceful fall scene. It's been that kind of day today - where what I need is to look at a picture such as that one and find myself there, in the quiet of nature, at peace with the world for just a few minutes.
I don't think the leaves are going to change this year. My trees just decided to drop their leaves without going to all the trouble of actually turning colors, I think. Maybe it's better up in the mountains. Sure wish I was there.
Great picture!
My willow oak in the front yard is doing that, but I am hopeful that the other oaks and hickory trees about will change. My dogwoods have somewhat. Poor things have really had a couple of rough years. I'm proud of them for hanging in there!
I found these fall shots through Microsoft. They had some really great ones. So, there's at least one thing we can thank Microsoft for!
Today has been a bit dricht (to use a good Scottish word for blah). I could have used the color myself today too... or at least a trip to the mountains. That in itself would be medicine for my soul.
