SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS
Thank you for all of those Tommy J quotes mentalguru! That man had a way with words, as long as they were on paper that is! I’m loving all this founding father quoting! (if everyone couldn’t see, I’m a nerd for American history!)
…I didn’t mean to ryme that
“Those who trade in their freedom for protection deserve neither”

You’re welcome!
-Coughs- He’s technically possibly my favourite of the founding fathers. Though I’ve gotten weird response when I’ve said that online before though (… I guess since I’m from the Uk… whatever, you know it’s been a few centuries, we’re kind of over it now. )
A couple more:
“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.”

mentalguru: I know how you feel, in a way! Besides American History, I love learning about European Monarchys and their history! Especially the United Kingdoms, and I know a lot about various Kings and Queens in your history (a lot more than most Americans, some of whom can’t name a British Monarch besides Queen Elizabeth (the first and second).
I think it’s awesome you have an interest in the Founding Fathers, I’m sad to say that most Americans don’t!

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Depressing quote here. But then I’m watching a show about Jack the Ripper now. This was from the Daily Telegraph at the time when Annie Chapman died and it’s good writing at the same time:
“Dark Annie’s spirit still walks Whitechapel unavenged by justice…her dreadful end has compelled Londoners to reflect what it must be like to have no home except the kitchen of a low lodging house; to sit there sick and weak, bruised and wretched, to be turned out after midnight, to come across your murderer and caress your assassin.”
¡Mi florecilla del desierto! Yo jamás había visto la verdadera belleza hasta esta noche.
Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story 3
"The lights in the sky are the spirits of our ancestors, and they have the power to make changes in our world. Small become big. Winter turns to spring. One thing always changes into another.
But the greatest change I ever was that of my brother. A boy who desperately wanted to be a man"
-Denahi, Brother Bear
“Ka-chow! Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer.”
