Potent Quotables (updated periodically)

  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck
  • "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson
  • "The best way to prove a stick is crooked is to lay a straight one beside it" -- FW Boreham
  • "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'" -- Abigail Van Buren
  • "It was not political rhetoric, mass rallies or poses of moral indignation that gave the people a better life. It was capitalism." -- Thomas Sowell

Marching to Her Own Drumbeat

I find this story, about an 85-year-old metalhead grandma, entertaining. Not that I'm a Metallica fan at all, it's just that I appreciate the fact that you can be 85 and still rebel against conventional wisdom ("It's too loud, Junior! Turn that crap down!"). Or perhaps it's that, at 85, you've lived long enough that you ought to be able to do whatever the heck you want.

Either way: rock on, Grandma. Rock on.
