Liberty is a great celestial Goddess, strong, beneficent, and austere, and she can never descend upon a nation by the shouting of crowds, nor by arguments of unbridled passion, nor by the hatred of class against class.

There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I?' That's where courage comes in."
-- Erma Bombeck

Beware the ides of March.
William Shakespeare - Julius Cæsar. Act i. Sc. 2.

Comment: I wondered about the 'ides' and decided to do a little research and found this tongue-in-cheek site and this site that is a bit more technical. For those that want to know a bit more about Julius Caesar and the ides, try this site; it’s easy reading.

When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious.
Edna O'Brien

For more information on this holiday see here and here.


4dk - who apologizes for the double post for March 16th. I forgot about the holiday but I have an excuse - I'm English / Welsh / Danish ancestry, no Irish anywhere but didn't mean to slight anyone who is Irish or wishes they were on this day.

Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
