Notable Quotable #17

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

- H.L. Mencken

"You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know."

- William Wilberforce

“There is beauty in truth, even if it’s painful. Those who lie, twist life so that it looks tasty to the lazy, brilliant to the ignorant, and powerful to the weak. But lies only strengthen our defects. They don’t teach anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything. Nor do they develop one’s character, one’s mind, one’s heart or one’s soul.”

- José N. Harris

  “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

- George Orwell

Peace be still

When waters are still

I feel at peace

What the ripples reveal

Is that tranquility ceases

Pieces of my soul

Stole along the way

Repossession is the goal

Achieving everyday

The days of dismay

Suffered by us all

Seem here to stay

Be strong; stand tall
