Famous and near famous HISTORIC QUOTES.

[Dead Money]

Throughout the thousands of years human history, there has been untold numbers of people, places, and events, many forgotten.

What remains of many, are their thoughts as remembered in famous and not so famous quotes.

I find many fascinating....

I will be listing some of the more interesting ones (at least to me) in this thread.

?If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.? ? Woodrow Wilson (28th President of the United States)

"I went into a restaurant one night and ordered lobster, and the waiter brought me one with a claw missing. I called him over and told him about it.
He told me that in the back there's a tank they keep the lobsters in and while they're in there, they fight and sometimes one loses a claw. I told him 'then bring me a winner.''

Al McGuire Marquette Basketball coach 1964-1977, broadcaster, on winning....

I have found this to be very true in life.

I love Tyson with all his quirks. You get what you get with him.

Truer words....

Truer words....

?Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.
Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.?
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

I think Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren should use this historical to launch their 2020 Presidential campaign :shrug:

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last Fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money."

Indian Proverb

"Naturally, the common people don't want war ...

But after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."





Hermann Goring...A member of the NSDAP from its earliest days, G?ring was wounded in 1923 during the failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch.
After helping Adolf Hitler take power in 1933, he became the second-most powerful man in Germany.
He founded the Gestapo in 1933, and later gave command of it to Heinrich Himmler.
G?ring was appointed commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe (air force) in 1935, a position he held until the final days of World War II

Imo, Ike and JFK tried to be truthful and honest. The other presidents that followed couldn't hold a candle to either of those two. ~

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it."

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

John F. Kennedy, April 27, 1961

Pretty ironic given all his secrets.

Do you mean of his love affairs or something that compromised the welfare of the country?

Please enlighten me. You obviously know more than I do.
