"The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression."

  W.E.B DuBois

Repression of your will and desire are the cornerstones of stress.  When you believe or are led to believe you are unable to act upon the greatest desires of the soul, the result is mental and spiritual enslavement.  The price you pay for your enslavement is your self-dignity, self respect and self-esteem.  To be free, you must acknowledge your personal liberty as the God-given right it is.  You must be willing to take a stand for yourself.  Liberty is the God-given right to declare who you are and to to pursue what you want.  If you surrender that right, you repress yourself.

Think wrongly if you please, but in all cases think for yourself.

Louisa May Alcott

The ruin of a nation begins in the home of its people.

Ashanti Proverb

A dream for you to follow;

A goal for you to set;

A plan for you to make;

A project for you to begin;

An idea for you to act on;

A possibility for you to explore;

An opportunity for you to grab;

A choice for you to make;

Action.

Nothing pains some people more than having to think.

Martin Luther King Jr.

New York: As a female shopper exited a convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police had apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes Officer..that’s her. That’s the lady I stole the purse from."

It seems a man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote, "This iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag."  While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he was not the brightest light in the harbour, told him that she could not accept his stick up note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said "OK" and left. The Wells Fargo teller then called the police who arrested the man a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

A couple had been married for 40 years and also celebrated their 60th birthdays. During the celebration a fairy godmother appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.

Being the faithful, loving spouse for all these years, naturally the wife wanted for her and her husband to have a romantic vacation together, so she wished for them to travel around the world. The fairy waved her wand and boom! She had the tickets in her hand.

Next, it was the husband's turn and the fairy assured him he could have any wish he wanted, all he needed to do was ask for his heart's desire. He paused for a moment, then said, "Well, honestly, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me."

The fairy picked up her wand and boom! He was 90...

(Be careful what you wish for)

It's easy 'nough to titter w'en de stew is smokin' hot,

But hits mighty ha'd to giggle w'en de's nuffin' in de pot.

                                Paul Lawrence Dunbar from "Philosophy"

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

Sir Matthew Barrie

One night, as old St. Peter slept,

He left the door of Heaven ajar,

When through a little angel crept,

And came down with a falling star.
