The Big Picture

“It is a painful thing to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has made it.” - Sophocles

We are all responsible for and to the civilization we are part of. Honesty, honor, Godliness, industry, respect for the law, morality, and truthfulness are the wheels on which our lives, and our world, ride.

1.      Work hard and make a contribution to your world.

2.      Love, provide for, and protect your family and friends.

3.      Be educated and informed so you don’t make stupid decisions and choices (or none at all).

4.      Be prepared to defend your family, your home, your neighborhood, your city, your state, your country and, if need be, your world.

5.      Be a good person…live by the Golden Rule.

“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties (of America) than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” – John Adams
