In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Though I was the one to initially propose daylight savings time. I fear it is out of date.

Respect is earned, yet the best way to earn it is by showing it.

We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. A truth I once said when signing the Declaration of Independence. Fight tyranny wherever it is found, especially in government.

To know science is to know the world, to discard it is to know ignorance.

The truth does not mind being questioned. A lie does not like being challenged.

As former Ambassador to France, allies who helped us overthrow our previous tyrant, it feels embarrassing that our current leader/tyrant is called out for his lies by France. We could learn from them on what to do with tyrants.

Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

The most beloved critics of society are always the ones who put a comedic spin on it. If laughter can open the eyes of people, I implore you to craft your messaging in a way that not only makes people think, but makes people laugh.

There is always reason to hope, but do not forget that for most hopes to become reality, action must be taken. Inaction is the destroyer of dreams.

Will posterity forgive us? Is our legacy a moment in time where we stuck our heads in the sand?

What was the Revolution? Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Proposed once as the motto of our seal. I fear today, we need this motto more than ever. As those who forgot that our country was for the people and not the tyrant, often weaponize faith.

Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins.

Take time to admire the beauty of existence and reality around you. Savor the knowledge that you are alive, breathing, feeling, sensing. Ground yourself in the wonder of the world and you will find that there is often an excuse to smile.

When your allies find you repugnant, maybe it is time to take a bath and reflect on your choices.

What is the rationale for cutting things that help the poor in order to help those that would never be able to spend their current wealth?

Imagery is often the best way to get points across. Symbols have meaning and to play it off as less important is a good way to give upt liberty.

Words unsaid out of fear, are words of a person already beaten into submission.
