governments and constitutions
are ever destroyed by their enemies
until they have been corrupted and
weakened by their friends.

The Sword and The Spirit

There are only two forces in the world,
the sword and the spirit.

In the long run the sword will always
be conquered by the spirit.

~Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)~

If he knew that then what the hell were the
Napoleanic wars FOR??? Oh, yeah, I forget....
he's just human and subject to GREED for
wealth and power......

A Strange Situation

Strange is our situation here upon earth.
Each of us comes for a short visit,
not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming
to a divine purpose.

From the standpoint of daily life,
however, there is one thing we do know:
That we are here for the sake of others...
for the countless unknown souls with
whose fate we are connected by a bond of
sympathy.

Many times a day, I realize how much
my outer and inner life is built upon
the labors of people, both living and dead,
and how earnestly I must exert myself
in order to give in return as much
as I have received.

~Albert Einstein~

In Everything

“In everything that I have created, your pain,
your struggles and your disappointments,
there is beauty.

In everything the devil has created, even
that which appears to be beautiful,
is at its core, ugly.”

~God~
