I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God governs the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?
Benjamin Franklin
Non-religious quotes from the founding fathers
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Wendell Phillips, citing Thomas Jefferson (has also been attributed to Patrick Henry)
I viewed things from a liberal point of view, until I began reading and listening to a wide variety of sources in the 1990's. I still search sources from many points of view, but have realized that wanting something to be true is not the same as it actually being true.
As I post on more topics, please comment on them, as this can become a thread of discussion on the topic of the post. I believe in the value of a variety of viewpoints and in what I may gain from hearing them.
