Carry a Gun

"Laws' that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crime... Such laws make
things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants..."
-Thomas Jefferson, 1746

Harm or Help

Good help is somewhat less than is needed.

Poverty, the Way Out

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
- Benjamin Franklin

Geniuses?

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
- Carl Sagan

You Can't Go Home

Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home.
- Bill Cosby

Communists

"How do you tell a Communist?  Well, it's someone who reads
Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist?  It's someone who
understands Marx and Lenin."
- Ronald Reagan
