Quotes to Remember

“The rays from this beacon, lighting this gateway to the continent, will welcome the poor and the persecuted with the hope and promise of homes and citizenship. It will teach them that there is room and brotherhood for all who will support our institutions and aid in our development; but that those who come to disturb our peace and throne, our laws, our aliens and enemies forever.”

~ Chauncey de Pew via Barbara Samuells; this quote should be next to the Emma Lazarus poem on the Statue of Liberty.

Here are a few more from Chauncey.

“I get my exercise acting as a pallbearer to my friends who exercise.”

“Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ‘crackpot’ than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.”

“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”

“A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are.”

“The government of the United States is and always has been a lawyer’s government.”
