  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 my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

  We can't legislate peace in our hearts.

  Slightly misquoted, but good stuff nonetheless. For those who are interested, here is the original text from Dr. Adrian Rogers 1996 work, Ten Secrets for a Successful Family:
  
  "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it. You don't multiply wealth by dividing it. Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor."

  There can be no freedom without peace seems more accurate imo.

  Don't think so ............ freedom would would eliminate the single largest reason to be unpeaceful.

  Great Americans like Patrick Henry, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson once thought so. Many of today's milquetoast Americans think that playing nice in the sandbox with international tyrants and thugs will keep the peace.

  Without peace there will always be people being made to do things they don't want or killed because of some reason. That takes away any freedom they have.
  
  It's one of those sayings that makes sense both ways.

There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbor and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations..."

  #3 is totally false. The government gives shitloads without taking it from anyone. It is a well known term called deficit spending.
  
  #4 is as dumb as it gets. Spoken like a acid tripping philosopher. Far out man.
  
  #5 is totally inaccurate as well. The unemployed number 17% in this country. Of those 17% still looking for work, they don't want shit given to them from anybody. They want a decent job.
