Hello. A lot of you know me and you know I prefer to stay out of anything outside the RP'ing and Fan-Fic sections but I thought I would just throw this up. These are my 4 favorite quotes and how they are currently being ignored in American Society.
John F. Kennedy - "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Some people are beginning to say that they are entitled by the government to free cell phones and other items but they do not take into consideration FAR too often that they should be doing more for their country than their country does for them. I thank each and every one of America's soldiers for actually believing in service to their country.
Argued sources - "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." This quote, right here, is the very essence of what American Society should be about. Not receiving things but being taught how to do the things you need to receive what you want. To be honest, this is why I do not personally believe that any sort of income redistribution is ever set to work.
Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. (my personal favorite of all time.) "I have a dream that one day my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." This is just... an amazing piece of an even greater speech. Martin Luther King Jr did not want for ANYONE to be judged by what their skin color was, but what their character was about. I can remember very clearly all the claims during the Obama campaign of 2008 by many different people I knew personally "You have to vote for Obama or you are a racist." I will not go through further detail on what I think of that, but I don't think Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud.
Abraham Lincoln - "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Never, after the Civil War, has this quote been so very important. Currently, Congress is divided between the Democrats and the Republicans. Neither of those parties is willing enough to work with the other to fix the problem with American debt and other issues. I would, personally, like to walk up to the leader of both parties and just lock them in a room with a limited amount of Oxygen until they came up with a budget idea. Work together or die. The way they act though, I have a feeling they'd just end up in a Morgue.
----Well, I hope you all think I have good quotes and that I have good reasons on why I believe they have been incredibly ignored by the Society of the American People as we know it today. So, what are some of you all's favorite quotes then?
