  1. A quotation from Eisenhower

       The way chosen by the United States was plainly marked by a few clear precepts, which govern its conduct in world affairs.
       First: No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
       Second: No nation’s security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow-nations.
       Third: Any nation’s right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing is inalienable.
       Fourth: Any nation’s attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
       And fifth: A nation’s hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations.
       In the light of these principles the citizens of the United States defined the way they proposed to follow, through the aftermath of war, toward true peace.

  2. @Appalachian I have discovered the #Veggie Gifter. It is our 81 year old #neighbor across the street.

    I was in the yard with the Yorkies and she came running across the street with a big bag of fresh #garden #vegetables.

    My gosh, I love small town #America.

  3. "Jeffersons" star Sherman Hemsley never publicly discussed being homosexual, but since his death, friends and co-workers have confirmed this fact, and he has been warmly accepted as a Gay Icon by the Men's Community. 1938-2012. #shermanhemsley #gayicon #thejeffersons #allinthefamily #archiebunker #neighbor #neighbors #movingonup #eastside #drycleaner #drycleaners #homosexuality #closet #closeted #inthecloset #bigotry #homophobia #endhomophobia #idol #hero #comedian #humorous #hilarious

  4. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only to what he does himself, that it may be just and pure.
     
    [Ὅσην εὐσχολίαν κερδαίνει ὁ μὴ βλέπων τί ὁ πλησίον εἶπεν ἢ ἔπραξεν ἢ διενοήθη, ἀλλὰ μόνον τί αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, ἵνα αὐτὸ τοῦτο δίκαιον ᾖ καὶ ὅσιον ἢ † κατὰ τὸν ἀγαθὸν.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 4, ch. 18 (4.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Long (1862)]
