But to nurture a movement, you must expand your heart and mind enough to reach beyond your differences with those, who stand along side of you and are facing in the same direction you are. To flow in a true, deep, history -bending movement, you must be able to operate in multiple dimensions at once.

Under civilization poverty is born of superabundance itself.

Yesterday, referring to the lynching of Qaddafi by NATO rebels:

“The faces of the leaders of ‘world democracies’ are so happy, as if they remembered how they hanged stray cats in basements in their childhoods" - Russia's NATO envoy Dimitry Rogozin.

The evening before, he'd remarked:

“We must bear in mind who we are dealing with in the face of Western democracies.”

Just noticed Metric Pringle's signature line, and I love it!

The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting. - Charles Bukowski

Daniel Webster quotes:
The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.

Daniel Webster quotes:
Human beings will generally exercise power when they can get it, and they will exercise it most undoubtedly in popular governments under pretense of public safety.

Daniel Webster quotes:
The contest, for ages, has been to rescue Liberty from the grasp of executive power.

Daniel Webster quotes:
The inherent right in the people to reform their government, I do not deny; and they have another right, and that is to resist unconstitutional laws without overturning the government.

Daniel Webster quotes:
Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.

Daniel Webster quotes:
No government is respectable which is not just. Without unspotted purity of public faith, without sacred public principle, fidelity, and honor, no machinery of laws, can give dignity to political society.

Daniel Webster quotes:
The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.

Daniel Webster quotes:
We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors and a ruined people.

Daniel Webster quotes:
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

Daniel Webster quotes:
If the Union was formed by accession of States then the Union may be dissolved by the secession of States.

Daniel Webster quotes:
Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint; the more restraint on others to keep off from us, the more liberty we have.

Daniel Webster quotes:
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.

[Elihu]

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands.

"Roasting the public mind is like roasting a pig over an open fire. The heat of propaganda must be consistently applied to the public mind over a closed fire of myths until it is completely cooked. Then it is ready to be carved up and eaten by the wolves of war."
-Saman Mohammadi

[Allegro]

If you do the task before you always adhering to strict reason with zeal and energy and yet with humanity, disregarding all lesser ends and keeping the divinity within you pure and upright, as though you were even now faced with its recall – if you hold steadily to this, staying for nothing and shrinking from nothing, only seeking in each passing action a conformity with nature and in each word and utterance a fearless truthfulness, then the good life shall be yours. And from this course no man has the power to hold you back. [REFER.]

Thanks, Duncan Hines, for the reference.

The spirit of justice is nothing other than the supreme and perfect flower of the madness of love.

[Allegro]

Although knaves win in every political struggle, although society seems to be delivered over from the hands of one set of criminals into the hands of another set of criminals, as fast as the government is changed, and the march of civilization is a train of felonies, yet, general ends are somehow answered. We see, now, events forced on which seem to retard or retrograde the civility of ages. But the world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves cannot drown him. He snaps his finger at laws: and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams. [REFER.]

Has been eclipsed yet remains favored.

from a friend of mine (OWS and music on his mind):

nothing can be born without something else dying… this is the essence of our planetary cycle of life and death. it’s all just a matter of who’s going to lose what, and how fast.
