"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg . . . reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error. . . . They are the natural enemies of error, and of error only."

-- Thomas Jefferson

I could never understand how they named that live album All the World's A Stage, when Limelight (where the line came from) wasn't recorded until 5 years later. Can we infer then that they wrote Limelight back in 1976 or earlier, but for some reason didn't record or release it until 1981? confused13.gif

"A man truly himself will not enrich his own interests and make a virtue of poverty. He goes his way without depending on others, yet is not arrogant that he needs no other. The greatest man is nobody."

 

"Strengthen the discipline of the spirit by purifying the body."

 

"A man may die from a hunger of the body. But whole nations have fallen from that of the spirit. Discipline. Discipline cures."
