May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it. You don't multiply wealth by dividing it. Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor."
I like and agree with this quote; I also disagree with this quote! LOL!!

I absolutely agree with this quote,
picklejuice- who said it, btw?
It certainly pertains to the current
contrasts we see everywhere.
Either ppl are working hard, rain or shine-
or the other extreme,
the freeloaders not at all
concerned with working--
(they're the ones getting all the freebies)

Great quote, book, and movie!
That reminds me of the superb book, "Black Like Me."
"When all the talk, all the propaganda has been cut away, the criterion is nothing but the color of skin. My experience proved that. They judged me by no quality. My skin was dark."
