    Compare to Obama "If want increased security- we have to give a little" trying to justify the NSA violations of the espionage act.

    And the Ben Franklin Quote "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security"

    "A brave man is a man that dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is the Devil" James A Garfield

    And finally ! "Everybody wanna go heaven - Nobody wanna get dead" Steven Segal movie :)

    Ironic!

    Actually it is the exact opposite in reality!

    It is the GOP that is clearing away "gates", AKA regulations, that they do not understand the use of at all and thus causing problems later such as the S&L Collapse and the 2008 Economic Collapse.

    That is basically what I say when people talk about money wasted on the arts, fundamental research, environmental laws, and much of what Trump seeks to eliminate. Tell me why there were put there in the first place before deciding they are a waste of money.

    When a man becomes so busy that he forgets the beautiful things in life, then it can be truly said he is poor!

    Off topic, but it's clear you don't understand the point. Quotes by great men are not for everyone I guess.
