baby home views
In my view, the greatest threat to America's future isn't hiding in a cave in Pakistan or Afghanistan; it's right here at home. Baby boomers like myself are on course to become the first generation of Americans who leave things in worse shape than they found them.
running government long
Our government has made a whole lot of promises that, in the long run, it cannot possibly keep without huge tax increases.
mother father grateful
The Americans say that we are ungrateful-but I ask them for heaven's sake, what should we be grateful to them for-for murdering our fathers and mothers?-Or do they wish us to return thanks to them for chaining and handcuffing us, branding us, cramming fire down our throats, or for keeping us in slavery, and beating us nearly or quite to death to make us work in ignorance and miseries, to support them and their families. They certainly think we are a gang of fools.
kindness real character
To me, the real marks of beauty in a woman are courage, character, kindness, and personality.
ignorant half earth
I know that the blacks, take them half enlightened and ignorant, are more humane and merciful than the most enlightened and refined European that can be found in all the earth.
eye thoughtful giving
Lord, please give me big ears and a thoughtful mind. Teach me to ask well and see it through other’s eyes.
heart love-is church
Church should be a place where love is evident, God delivers, lives are changed, hearts are healed, and families restored.
country men blood
Let no man of us budge one step, and let slaveholders come to beat us from our country. America is more our country, than it is the whites-we have enriched it with our blood and tears. The greatest riches in all America have arisen from our blood and tears.
winning self challenges
Karate is not about winning over others. It is about winning over one's self. Ultimately, the most challenging opponents we face reside from within - our hang-ups, our insecurities, our prejudices. Overcome these and you will have truly won.
order bridges empowering
Leadership is building a bridge that connects the vision with the purpose, in order to empower those who are around us.
mother children believe
Now, I ask you, had you not rather be killed than to be a slave to a tyrant, who takes the life of your mother, wife, and dear little children? Look upon your mother, wife and children, and answer God Almighty; and believe this, that it is no more harm for you to kill a man who is trying to kill you, than it is for you to take a drink of water when thirsty.
crying hurt knew life move time
It hurt, but at the same time I knew there was more to life than crying and pouting about an injury. I've got to move on.

A single individual directly responsible and accountable to the president of the United States should be dedicated to act as the central focal point to lead and coordinate the overall federal response.
