Courage is speaking-up when you are right, knowing that it will not make you popular.
The trick is knowing when you are right.

Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship in the kingdom of well and in the kingdom of sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a while to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.

A fitting quote for Veterans Day...

"I know what honor is. It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you. I faced death with the secure knowledge that you would not have to. Never falter! Don't hesitate to honor and support those of us who have the honor of protecting that which is worth protecting." -Marine ssgt Dan Clay, killed in action on 1 December 2005 near Fallujah Iraq. This quote is taken from one of his last letters to his family. Godspeed Sgt Clay

If you put your head in the noose, somebody's going to slap the horse.
