O Lazy bones! Dost thou think God would have given thee arms and legs, if he had not design'd thou should'st use them?

A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” Benjamin Franklin

Beware the hobby that eats.

Take it from Richard, poor and lame, What's begun in anger ends in shame.
