Ok Wubble... there's a few of us here who would say deserving and loving things to you... me for one...

The qoute by A. Lincoln about veracity on the Internet is verifiably true!

“This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!” ― Steve Maraboli

"A playground is a place for children to learn the boundaries of behavior. One learns to fight in playground scuffles; one learns politics in playground cliques. It is on the playground that one is initiated into the madness of mobs, the insidious mire of peer pressure, and the final, unthinkable, inarguable unfairness of existence- that some are smarter, others are stronger or faster, and no force at your command can make you better than your gifts."

[MissBarbara]

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." --Bertrand Russell

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
~ George Bernard Shaw

Jefferson did say...

"To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, —the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, & the fruits acquired by it."

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."  ~ Thomas Jefferson ~

As is the irony of today's Republicans calling Jefferson one of their "heroes." 

Why would that be ironic.  Surely you don't believe that all republicans subscribe to the tea party rhetoric.  There is such a thing as moderate, like myself, a self describe "liberal republican" or "conservative democrat"

[TinyDancer]

Excuse me y'all, I would have never posted that Thomas Jefferson stated that quote if I had known he didn't actually say it. 

[Katiebee]

I have the collected quotes of Thomas Jefferson, recorded in his own voice, so you can check it from that.

It's a rare man who is attracted to a wman's intellect.

[Lois]

“[T]he scripture worshippers put the writings ahead of God. Instead of interpreting God's actions in nature, for example, they interpret nature in the light of the Scripture. Nature says the rock is billions of years old, but the book says different, so even though men wrote the book, and God made the rock and God gave us minds that have found ways to tell how old it is, we still choose to believe the Scripture.”
― Sheri S. Tepper

“Nothing limits intelligence more than ignorance; nothing fosters ignorance more than one's own opinions; nothing strengthens opinions more than refusing to look at reality.”
― Sheri S. Tepper

“The sidesaddle was designed to protect a maiden's virginity, while risking the maiden's neck. Rather much for rather little, I thought.”
― Sheri S. Tepper

“The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.”
―Thomas B. Macaulay
