Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may.
Mark Twain
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.
Moshe Dayan
He loves his country best who strives to make it best.
Robert Green Ingersoll
He who loves not his country, can love nothing.
Lord Byron
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace.

Oh, so very beautiful. Thank you, Sylvia.
I've taken pics where the mountains seem to sit atop the clouds. People ask me what program I used to do that and refuse to believe it is real!
Lovely shots and equally lovely quotes as usual.

Have a great Sylvia.
