Stuff I Found

A little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. . . It is a medium necessary for the sound health of a government.
Thomas Jefferson


People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
George Orwell


I’d like to have two armies: one for display with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers, staff, distinguished and doddering generals, and dear little regimental officers who would be deeply concerned over their general’s bowel movements or their colonel’s piles: An army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.
The other would be the real one, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That’s the army in which I should like fight.
Jean Larte’ Guy


Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
