What are your nuggets of truth or wisdom that help you get through today?

Old Law: You have a right to your life because you are alive. You have a right to your liberty because you have free will. You have a right to your property because it is the product of your labor. You forfeit these right when you take them from another." From The Sovereign of The Seven Isles series by David A. Wells. It's very John Locke

    "It is not society, nor any social right, that forbids you to kill—but the inalienable individual right of another man to live. This is not a “compromise” between two rights—but a line of division that preserves both rights untouched. The division is not derived from an edict of society—but from your own inalienable individual right. The definition of this limit is not set arbitrarily by society—but is implicit in the definition of your own right."

    Within the sphere of your own rights, your freedom is absolute. “Textbook of Americanism,” Ayn Rand Column, 85

    “Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.”
