Quotations Worth Reading
"My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's
country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country
is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is
the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions
are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear
out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the
body from winter, disease, and death."
-- Mark Twain
"Learning without thought is labor lost; thought
without learning is perilous."
-- Confucius

on earth…"
