Golf.

I like this SodaHead stuff. I'm becoming addicted. Aside from that, I like golf, reading and struggling to make my post retirement businesses succeed before I go through my life's savings.

Atlas Shrugged

The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
Theodore Roosevelt

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Thomas Jefferson

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years." --Alexander Fraser Tytler (1747–1813)

A government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
Ayn Rand

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Ayn Rand

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny”
Thomas Jefferson

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.
Ayn Rand

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”
Thomas Jefferson

God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.
Ayn Rand

A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Thomas Jefferson

“A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither”
Thomas Jefferson

Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
Ayn Rand

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.”
Thomas Jefferson

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
Ayn Rand

“Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.”
Thomas Jefferson

Man's unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself.
Ayn Rand

“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government...”
Thomas Jefferson

“It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.”
Thomas Jefferson

“In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.”
Thomas Jefferson

“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money”
Alexander de Tocqueville

“In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked,
"What have you wrought?" "......a Republic, if you can keep it," Replied Franklin

“There can be no such thing, in law or in morality, as actions forbidden to an individual, but permitted to a mob”
Ayn Rand

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein
