Look to this day For it is life The very life of life. In its brief course lie all The realities and verities of existence The bliss of growth The splendor of action The glory of power For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision. But today, well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. Sanskrit Proverb

Once one accepts the principle of self-ownership, what’s moral and immoral becomes self-evident. Murder is immoral because it violates private property. Rape and theft are also immoral — they also violate private property. Dr. Walter E. Williams

This country needs a massive economic stimulus now, before we head down the road of falling prices, falling wages and falling home values. There is a way out and it works. Let’s cut taxes for individuals and business even more, right now. Zell Miller
U.S. Senator, Georgia, Democrat
