A good government remains the greatest of human blessings and no nation has ever enjoyed it.

Freedoms Now Enjoyed
They wish for him not to win.
They say with him,
The government would rule,
Every aspect of our lives.
They say with him,
The government would end...
Freedoms now enjoyed!
Which of those 'freedoms' now enjoyed,
Are not taxed by the government?
With or without him winning!
Unless they speak of the breath,
We now breathe.
Increasingly polluted.
With no decrease of greed that feeds it.
And he who runs to end this need...
They say he is without experience to lead!
Although an hypocriscy keeps them bleeding.

What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.

We should be thankful to Him at any rate
Delicious and gorgeous food
Clean and pure water
Are among His greatest blessings
For human being
Having them we should be thankful to God
We should never take our eyes off His blessings
The more we are thankful to Him
The more He will reward
But if he rewards us disproportionate to our thanks
If more
It is His greatness
If less
It is His
Prudence
In both conditions
He exhorts us to be thankful to Him.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

We stand equally against government by a plutocracy and government by a mob. There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with "the money touch," but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.

Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity. Now Obama is dismantling it, because he has no appreciation for our greatness. In fact, he resents it. He blames this country for whatever evils he sees around the world.

While port security remains one of our single greatest vulnerabilities, it makes little sense to give operational control of our ports to a foreign nation without first doing proper investigations.

For My Daughters
never forget my daughters
you are and will always be
among my greatest blessings
from God
throughout
a long life
I waited
a long time
for each
of you
too
be born
I spoke
to you
loved you
for months
and months
before your births
I held you
in my arms
in my heart
year after year
each
day rising
loving you
through all life's
trials
among all my greatest
blessings your hands
your love your smiles

Nothing can be called failure until you accept it as such. You can transmute all past failures and mistakes into assets. Adversity is Nature's method of disciplining people to learn to take possession of their own minds. Greatest blessings often come from the greatest adversities. Study yourself carefully and you may discover that your own emotions are your greatest handicap in the business of accurate thinking.

If human beings are fundamentally good, no government is necessary; if they are fundamentally bad, any government, being composed of human beings, would be bad also.

Love
LOVE, most beautiful natural instinct life has given us,
LOVE, mother nature provides the many loves for basic survival,
LOVE, the greatest demand and motivation within humans,
LOVE, strongest mental force from these instinctive wants.
LOVE, the eternal flame of hope human beings wish for,
LOVE, the greatest physical feeling enjoyed by humans,
LOVE, compassion of affections for the good of mankind,
LOVE, romance of humans rewarded by the thirst of sexual love.
LOVE, in humans charts our course in our daily lives,
LOVE, in man holds his integrity as a human being,
LOVE, the pendulum in the philosophy of sanity,
LOVE, positive traits within humans, to befriend others in need.
LOVE, the innocent children pure in mind as their faces,
LOVE, inspiration of man to bring forth new life in humanity,
LOVE, sharing to give, to be honest, to have faith, to see God,
LOVE, others feelings, to understand, to be trusted, to be thankful.
LOVE, the force of humanities, to live together in peace,
LOVE, throughout the World keeps Nations at peace,
LOVE, motivations of human beings for continuous existence,
LOVE, hope for continual survival of "Worldly Co-existence."

failings that was me
God my creator was is remains
purity personification wisdom
compassion which sets me free

A devil is here
Think of devil and he is here
Mt friend was rushing from somewhere
We used to make jokes on him often
He was not getting angry even then
He may emerge all of sudden
Render the advice even if not taken
Insulted some times for unnecessary poking
He was made target of simple joking
We did enough to annoy
On the contrary He will laugh and enjoy
He will create some funny scene
We too enjoyed it and were very keen
He was only to be trusted
He can’t be so easily ousted
He had created a unique position
To do without him was out of question
We couldn’t think of anything without him
He was for us sun rays or its beam
We loved him so much and admired
He took all insult and got most of the time fired
Some special friends are like brothers
They sometimes create tension and bother
Still we prefer to remain together
In grief they provide us good breather
We nick name them as devils
In fact they are not at all evils
They have become inseparable part
It may pain us if they really depart
Lot of things have been said
Still so much remains to be unsaid
It is one of the greatest moments
We align it with out all the movements
In our critical times, we long to stay
Nothing forces us to take it away
It is human bond coupled with strong attachment
There can’t be derailment or any detachment
