Thomas Jefferson

When we get piled 
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, 
we shall become as corrupt as  Europe  .

Thomas Jefferson 


The democracy will cease to exist 
when you take away from those 
who are willing to work and give to those who would not. 

Thomas Jefferson 


It is incumbent on every 
generation to pay its own debts as it goes. 
A principle which if acted on would save 
one-half the wars of the world. 

Thomas Jefferson 


I predict future happiness for 
Americans if they can prevent the government 
from wasting the labors of the people under the 
pretense of taking care of them. 

Thomas Jefferson   


My reading of history convinces me 
that most bad government results from too much 
government. 

Thomas Jefferson 


No free man shall ever be debarred 
the use of arms. 

Thomas Jefferson 


The strongest reason for the 
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms 
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves 
against tyranny in government. 

Thomas Jefferson 


The tree of liberty must be 
refreshed from time to time with the blood of 
patriots and tyrants. 

Thomas Jefferson 


To compel a man to subsidize with 
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he 
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. 

Thomas Jefferson 


Thomas  Jefferson said in 
1802:
'I believe that 
banking institutions are more dangerous to 
our liberties
 than standing armies.
 
If the American people ever allow 
private banks to control the issue of their 
currency, first by inflation,
 then by 
deflation, the banks and corporations that will 
grow up around the banks will deprive the people 
of all property -
 until their children 
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers 
conquered.'

Paraprosdokian


Paraprosdokian sentences:

A "paraprosdokian" is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect: someexamples: The last thing I want to do is hurt you.  But it's still on the list.


  • If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
  • We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public
  • War does not determine who is right -- only who is left.
  • Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  • Evening news is where they begin with "Good evening," and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
  • To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
  • A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station.
  • I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks.
  • Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
  • Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
  • A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
  • You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
  • The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
  • Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.
  • Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.
  • I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
  • When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.
  • You're never too old to learn something stupid.
  • Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
  • A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.
  • If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child?

Uncle Elmer and my First Watch

Howdy,

I remember when I was very young and my Uncle Elmer (Bud) gave me my first wrist watch......

That by itself may not seem like much, but it had a couple of features that no other watch had..... 1) It had a green face 2) it only had an hour hand........

I learned a great deal from this watch and it was not long and I could tell time with in a minute..... Each minute on the dial equaled 12 minutes.......

Thank you Uncle Elmer, I learned a lot from that gift.......
