Words to Ponder (10-1-12)

Sorry, I'm writing elsewhere this morning. I came across some good words from Thomas Jefferson. Words that I don't have space for but are too good not to use.

"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the Despot abetting his abuses in return for the protection of his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them."

"Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."

Hat tip to Wikipedia. (Can you imagine Thomas Jefferson with Wikipedia?) Find and click on the banner on the right. Donate. They deserve it.
