2. Freedom is not America's gift to the world. Freedom is G-d's gift to humanity.
-George W. Bush
I have to disagree with this sentiment. I have yet to see an act of God that gives people freedom. It is acts of man that ensures freedom.
“Miracles sometimes occur, but one has to work terribly hard for them." - Chaim Weizmann
Anywho, favorite quote(I have lots of them, but I'll just post a couple):
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages." - Adam Smith
"Unanswered questions are far less dangerous than unquestioned answers." - unknown source
