This should be a motto for America. From its beginnings much of Europe was waiting for it to fail, Britain slammed it in 1812, civil war almost destroyed it, need I go on? But here we stand with the world beating a path to us. Why don't they make their own countries decent places to live and prosper and leave us alone? -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
There is hope for what may appear to be impossible. -- E Archer, NYC 1
They were told it couldn't be done. So they knuckled down and buckled down and found out they couldn't do it. -- warren, olathe
(-: Who are "they"? :-) Was it "they" who said implementation of socialism in a dummied down nation of liberty with a constitution couldn't be done? Was it "they" who said financing poverty, hatred, anger, and social enslavement couldn't be done to make such grow? hmmm -- Mike, Norwalk
As it is written: "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." ~ Mark 9:23 -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill 1
Casey and Yogi were masters of the malaprop. This one is a good example. Yogi once said about a restaurant, that nobody goes there because it's too crowded. I guess that's just water over the bridge. -- jim k, Austin 1
It's a true quote as I have ever seen. Wow. I agree with Waffler here. -- cal, Lewisville, Texas 1
