“My government currently runs things only because the people 'allow' them to run things. It is my responsibility that I do everything I can to keep tabs on my government, keep them honest and make sure that they always act for the good of the people. They must be reminded that they hold no power over the people that the people do not wish for them to hold. If the government begins working in a way that the people don't agree with, they must be made to know that we will rip it to its very foundations and replace it with something that does.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayDoeMadeI CanGovernmentRunningPoliticsWishResponsibilityHonestAgreeFoundationRip Author:Derek R.

“The first essential responsibility of the state is control of the market-place: there must be some official charged with the duty of seeing that honest dealing and good order prevail. For one of the well-nigh essential activities of all states is the buying and selling of goods to meet their mutual basic needs; this is the quickest way to self-sufficiency, which seems to be what moves men to combine under a single constitution.” MenWayNeedsFirstsWellsSelfStatesWisdomSeemsMovingOrderPoliticsResponsibilityEconomySeeingHonestDutyActivityEssentialsConstitutionSellingOfficialsLiberalismBuyingMutualGoodsSelf SufficiencySufficiencyBasic NeedsAll StateBuying And Selling Author:Aristotle

“We must protect each other against the attacks of those self-appointed watchdogs of patriotism now abroad in the land who irresponsibly pin red labels on anyone whom they wish to destroy. ...

“When an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.” PeopleIfsWantFeelsPersonsHappensPastHurtPayResponsibilityEnemyHonestAdvantageForgivingInjusticeHealRevelationsTaking ResponsibilityVindicated Author:Joyce Meyer

“Trying to tell an authentic, raw and honest story without making it therapy. Separating myself enough to have perspective while putting myself in the emotional hot seat so that I could make this thing real. Asking for help. Delegating responsibility. Standing up for myself.
