Words Have Meaning

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.  Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction…The chain reaction of evil-hate begetting hate , wars producing more wars-must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

Abraham Lincoln

When we have taken steps that have violated the Geneva Conventions we rightly have been criticized, so as we move forward I think it’s important to again live our values.  I don’t think we should be afraid of our values we’re fighting for, what we stand for and so indeed we need to embrace them.

General David Petraeus

Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when [Sotomayor]’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.

G. Gordon Liddy
