RE: Favorite Quotes
While I agree with many of the aforementioned, I haven't heard these yet so I felt inclined to post them for your betterment.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, and nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
Government has no other end, but the preservation of life, liberty, and property.
As if there were safety in stupidity alone.
