One of my favorite quotes was from a very quiet man. There's no political or deep meaning to this quote but I've always found this man who had little to say so interesting.

"You lose." - Calvin Coolidge

I think this was his response to the woman who told him she bet her friend that she could ge Coolidge to say MORE than two words.

My all time favorite, from good old Patrick Henry:

Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
