"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored" -Adoux Housley

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but building the new." -Socrates

"The Secret of Freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant" -Maximilien Robespierre


TOPICS: History; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: daily; getajob; learn; perspective; quote
Everyday, I will try to post up to 3 quotes I find... these quotes will relate to the world we live in today and will hopefully give you new perspectives on things. I believe it is also important to learn our history, so I encourage you to research the people who are being quoted...I might write a few posts on these people later on as I learn.

Get rid of the programming dissonance and other dissonances in your life. Work on YOUR cognition. Who’s life are you living?

Thanks for the quotes, Sam.

Aldous Huxley not Adoux Housley.

Not a single syllable, word, sentence, thought, or idea that Robespierre – the communist monster of the French Revolution – ever uttered is worth repeating.

May his name be obliterated from all history, forever.

saw a funny today:

Someone should invent an alarm clock that sounds like a dog getting ready to puke, as nothing gets a person out of bed faster than that sound

No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.

The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.

It’s better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right

Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

Why waste your money looking up your family tree?
Just go into politics and your opponent will do it for you.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn’t want to be seen with him in public.
When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed.
If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.

How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!

I hate to hear people say this Judge will vote so and so, because he is a Democrat — and this one so and so because he is a Republican. It is shameful. The Judges have the Constitution for their guidance; they have no right to any politics save the politics of rigid right and justice when they are sitting in judgment upon the great matters that come before them.

-Mark Twain
