I want to share something with you, that I think most would appreciate and agree with. After my last post, I felt this was the most appropriate time to post it. Before I do, I just want to note that what some would consider to be profound, is usually subject to personal opinion; the following quote I think most will agree exceeds that boundary. Those who understand it, will understand it to a great depth; those who do not, likely never will."All societies of men must be governed in some way or other. The less they have of stringent State Government, the more they must have of individual self-government. The less they rely on public law or physical force, the more they must rely on private moral restraint. Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them, or a power without them; either by the word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet." ~ Robert Winthrop, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives-1849
