Quotes

I like words.  I like to hear them and read them when put together in a way that makes us laugh, makes us think, or inspires us.  Sometimes I just like the way sound when put together in a song or a poem.  I like the following:


Here are two quotes from Justices of the Supreme Court:

This document is an incredible combination of confusion, suppression, mutilation and fabrication - Felix Frankfurter

Sunlight is the best disinfectant - Justice Brandeis talking about full disclosure

But our society -- unlike most in the world -- presupposes that freedom and liberty are in a frame of reference that makes the individual, not government, the keeper of his tastes, beliefs, and ideas; that is the philosophy of the First Amendment; and it is this article of faith that sets us apart from most
nations in the world. - William O. Douglas

John F. Kennedy

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

 

Gordon B. Hinckley (former president of the Mormon Church)

 

Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.

 I don't know who to attribute these quotes to, but I like them:

 

In vino veritas - In wine is truth

Dissent is not the same thing as disloyalty
