There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
No I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Cage the elephant

The Lord said to Jeremiah the Prophet, "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hands of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it." The clay that marred in the potter's hands was thrown back into the unprepared portion, to be prepared over again. So it will be with every wicked man and woman, and every wicked nation, kingdom, and government upon earth, sooner or later; they will be thrown back to the native element from which they originated, to be worked over again, and be prepared to enjoy some sort of a kingdom

Winston Churchill




A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill 
 


Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Ronald Reagan


There are no unrealistic goals...only unrealistic expectations of the sacrifice required.  Douglas Morby

  By and by, you will find they will tear the Constitution to shreds, as they have begun now; they won't have to begin; they have started long ago to rend the Constitution of our country in pieces; ...but we will stand by and maintain its principles and the rights of all men of every color, and every clime.                  John Taylor

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Vince Lombardi 

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
Muhammad Ali


Money is multiplied in practical value depending on the number of W’s you control in your life: what you do, when you do it, where you do it, and with whom you do it. I call this the freedom multiplier.
~ Timothy Ferriss Quotes from The 4-Hour Workweek

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.
W. Somerset Maugham
(1874-1965) 

" When plunder has become a way of life for a group of people living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it, and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat 


“We were never promised precision in this life... With the gift of agency to mankind, life cannot possibly present a perfectly tidy picture. The ambiguities of circumstances are partly, if not largely, the cumulative result of our varied use of our moral agency, but also of the structure of life itself.”
― Neal A. Maxwell, Not My Will, but Thine


Neal A. Maxwell - “Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.”

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.
Thomas S. Monson


Government is taking 40 percent of the GDP. And that's at the state, local and federal level. President Obama has taken government spending at the federal level from 20 percent to 25 percent.

Mitt Romney 

“Of course we build our castles in the air. That’s where they should be. Then we have to build a foundation under them.” Henry David Thoreau


"Ninety percent of all those who fail are not actually defeated.   They simply quit." -Paul J. Meyer


If you only play well when you feel good...you'll never be a superstar.

I would rather be a freeman among slaves than a slave among freemen.
Jonathan Swift  (1667-1745)




"...he that forgiveth not his brother...standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin (D&C 64:9).


Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln


In this life its not what happens to you that matters,  its what you do about it that counts...EV(Whit) Whitaker


It is impossible to bring more into your life if you are feeling ungrateful about what you have. Why? Because the thoughts and feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful are all negative emotions."
