Quote of the day.....

A wise man neither suffers 

himself to be governed,

nor attempts to govern others.

-- Jean de la Bruyere.

quote of the day..........

May the Declaration of Independence

be to the world, what I believe it will be 

(to some parts sooner,

to others later, but finally to all)

the signal of arousing men to burst 

the chains under which monkish ignorance and 

superstition had persuaded them 

to bind themselves, and to assume 

the blessings and security of self-government. 

That form which we have substituted, 

restores the free right to the unbounded

exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. 

All eyes are opened, or opening, 

to the rights of man.

-- Thomas Jefferson(1743-1826). 
US Founding Father, 3rd US President
drafted the Declaration of Independence.
