IF YOU WANT TO BE A HERO…WELL JUST FOLLOW ME…
You can’t fight fire with fire. You can’t fight violence with violence and expect peace.
By Ralph Waldo Emerson Man is his own star; and the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man Commands all light, all influence, all fate; Nothing to him falls early or too late. Our acts our angels are, or good or ill, Our fatal shadows that walk by us still. –Epilogue to [...]
By Henry David Thoreau I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe–”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for [...]
By Thomas Paine Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, with Concise Remarks on the English Constitution SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.

As if I were waiting for something to fall
On top of the wall by the fly that I shooed
A pastoral painting of a green forest grew
