QUOTES 4th of JULY quotes My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

Thomas Jefferson Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed, else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

Dwight D. Eisenhower This, then, is the state of the union: free and restless, growing and full of hope. So it was in the beginning. So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.

Lyndon B. Johnson All we have of freedom, all we use or know, This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

Rudyard Kipling, "The Old Issue," 1899 America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality.

Adlai Stevenson May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this, our own country!

Daniel Webster Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

Benjamin Franklin It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism.

J. Horace McFarland Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or to lose.

Lyndon B. Johnson

The Lighter Side Traffic Court A woman was found guilty in traffic court and when asked her occupation, she said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court."

He smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not run a red light' five hundred times."

Two Guys From Chicago Two guys die and wake up in hell. The next day, the devil stops to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats, warming themselves around the fire.

The devil: "What are you doing? Isn't hell hot enough for you?"

The guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Chicago, Illinois, the land of ice and snow and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a bit."

The devil is absolutely furious. He decides to turn off all the heat.

The next morning, it's below zero in hell. There are icicles everywhere and people are shivering so bad they are unable to wail and moan.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Chicagoans. He finds them jumping up and down and cheering.

One exclaims, "When hell freezes over, that can mean just one thing: The Cubs won the World Series!"
