Happiness in 2011


The quote on the first page is new to me and very meaningful.  Think about it.

It is a chore to stay happy when things are falling apart all around and innocent people of all kinds are suffering because they are prevented from making a living.   Now, I"m thinking of a quote by Aesop:

 We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
And that brings me to five of the better sentences I've heard lately:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity. 

2. What one person receives without working for...another person must work for without receiving. 

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. 

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!
