The following has little or nothing to do with the current news which sucks. Take your minds off it with some food for thought

Once you accept an idea it is an idea whose time has come.

If you don't know what direction to take, you haven't acknowledged where you are.

If your life isn't working the way you want it to, notice you're lying.

He who laughs, lasts.

Hoping and wishing are excuses for not doing.

There are none so righteous as the newly converted.

If you have a constant need to help other people, notice how you keep them helpless.

Maturity consists of no longer being taken in by one's self.

If you are honest because honesty is the best policy, then your honesty is corrupt.

What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do.

The way to win is to make it OK to lose.

If you have to be happy, you will always be unhappy.

Any system that takes responsibility away from people, dehumanizes them.

Ad astra per aspera.

    The translation I prefer, is, "Through hardship, to the stars." It has a bit more bite to it.
    Also the motto of a western state -- Montana? I'm not sure.

    Through difficulties to the stars." Motto of the Royal Air Force.

    This post should be the pick of the month. You can't have rights without responsibilities and with a couch potato nation enabling the problem causers .... Fit's perfectly.

    Thank you.
