Abraham Lincoln, blank checks, information and other random quotes

On the radio: "I'm a native of Kansas City calling from Vermont of all places, and I wanted you to know that I'm voting for Abraham Lincoln because his corpse could do a better job than either of these two clowns!"

"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'" (Author unknown)

~John Lawton

“What is not possible is not to choose.”
~Jean-Paul Sartre


“Within any important issue, there are always aspects no one wishes to discuss.”

~Sigmund Freud

“Shall I tell you what knowledge is? It is to know both what one knows and what one does not know.”
