More Quotations

Today, just a few more quotations from the pens of wise men:

He who dares not offend cannot be honest. --Thomas Paine
(Is it just me, or are most people far too terrified of offending others to pronounce an honest opinion or judgment?)

History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure. --Thurgood Marshall (Oh, that we should not be learning that lesson yet again!)

As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way. --Ralph Waldo Emerson (Who knew that poets were also psychologists?!)

  1. Josh Grobin's songs are great! He has such an amazing voice: he could sing the alphabet and make it seem profound.

    Thanks for providing the translations to his songs!
