| Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large. Mahatma Gandhi |
| "The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within." Mahatma Gandhi |
| Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. Mahatma Gandhi |

| "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi |
| To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith. Mahatma Gandhi |
| "I shall content myself with merely declaring my firm conviction that, for the seeker who would live in fear of God and who would see Him face to face, restraint in diet both as to quantity and quality is as essential as restraint in thought and speech." Mahatma Gandhi |

| "I believe everyody in the world should have guns. Citizens should have bazookas and rocket launchers too. I believe that all citizens should have their weapons of choice. However, I also believe that only I should have the ammunition. Because frankly, I wouldn't trust the rest of the goobers with anything more dangerous than string." Scott Adams Gun Control |
| "For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments." James Brady Gun Control |
| "Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces."

| "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." U. S. Constitution Gun Control |
| That the whole free people of any nation ought to be exercised to arms, not only the example of our ancestors, as appears by the acts of parliament made in both kingdoms to that purpose, and that of the wisest governments among the ancients; but the advantage of choosing out of great numbers, seems clearly to demonstrate. For in countries where husbandry, trade, manufactures, and other mechanical arts are carried on, even in time of war, the impediments of men are so many and so various, that unless the whole people be exercised, no considerable numbers of men can be drawn out, without disturbing those employments, which are the vitals of the political body. Besides, that upon great defeats, and under extreme calamities, from which no government was ever exempted, every nation stands in need of all the people, as the ancients sometimes did of their slaves. And I cannot see why arms should be denied to any man who is not a slave, since they are the only true badges of liberty; and ought never, but in times of utmost necessity, to be put into the hands of mercenaries or slaves: neither can I understand why any man that has arms should not be taught the use of them.

| “If the Republicans continue to pull the wool over the eyes of so many conservatives, who think that since the Party of Lincoln – the first serious American gun-grabber, by the way – is marginally better on the gun issue than are the Democrats, Republican politicians are therefore incapable of destroying American liberty and erecting a tyrannical state, such a state is exactly what we will get.” Anthony Gregory Gun Control |
