Oklahoma | Thanks for posting those. I had a speech in 4-H that started with the line "we treat our soil like dirt". My Dad helped me write it but I never knew any one said it other than him.
Couple of mine from my file of quotes/comments.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. Ps37:5
“I don’t want the other guy to do bad, I want him to do good, but I want to do better” T.Boone Pickens at brothers graduation.
Convenience has a price. My Dad

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. Democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by dictatorship."
