Iron Jon Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 “ The merchant and pirate were for a long period one and the same person. Even today mercantile morality is really nothing but a refinement of piratical morality.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche Jonathan Washbourne "Jonathan Washbourne Junr of Bridgwater appeared in court and was ordered to pay £5 fees and charges or be publicly whipped 20 stripes for his abusive and uncivil behaviour to Elizabeth Canaday Late of said Bridgwater by Thrusting up or putting of a skunk under the Cloaths to her Naked Body And then saying he had Done the office of a midwife."

BriarRose Kildare Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up... Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.

Dorian Lasseter Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Th' last couple o' posts reminded me of some favourites... "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin 1759 "First we count their guns. If we have more guns than they do, then we are pirates. But if their guns outnumber ours, we are but simple merchants. - Anonymous Truly, D. Lasseter Captain, The Lucy Propria Virtute Audax --- In Hoc Signo Vinces Ni Feidir An Dubh A Chur Ina Bhan Air "If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me." Deuteronomy 32:41 Envy and its evil twin - It crept in bed with slander - Idiots they gave advice - But Sloth it gave no answer - Anger kills the human soul - With butter tales of Lust - While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin' - On the legs they never trust...

'Bastian Devareaux Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Childhood is a strange country. It's a place you come from or go to - at least in your mind. For me it has an endless, spellbound something in it that feels remote. It's like a little sealed vault country of cake breath and grass stains, where what you do instead of work is spin until you're dizzy... ~ Lyall Bush It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets.

BriarRose Kildare Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't know why, but this quote kinda hit me funny bone.

Capt. Sterling Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818), letter to John Adams, 1774 You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit. Demosthenes (384 BC - 322 BC), Third Olynthiac I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. John Locke (1632 - 1704) "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
