Benjamin Franklin Quote - They who give up...





They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, 

deserve neither liberty nor safety.


This was written by Franklin, sometime shortly before February 17, 1775 as part of his notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly, as published in  Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin

Happy St. Patrick's Day



St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic.  ~Adrienne Cook

 For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
~Author Unknown


May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
~Irish Blessing
 


 May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
~Irish Blessing


 Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don't want to press your luck.  ~Author Unknown
