As we celebrate Independence Day, I thought it was proper to post a few quotes to mark the occasion:
“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.”– William Faulkner
“You cannot separate peace and freedom. Because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.”– Malcolm X
“We’re blessed with the opportunity to stand for something, for liberty and fairness. And these are things worth fighting for, worth devoting our lives to.”– Ronald Reagan
“The American flag represents all of us and all the values we hold sacred.”— Adrian Cronauer
“No other date on the calendar more potently symbolizes all that our nation stands for than the Fourth of July.”— Mac Thornberry
THE 3 RULES OF HOUSECLEANING _ These are all you need to know.
• Layers of dirty film on windows and screens provide a helpful filter against harmful rays from the sun. Call it an SPF factor of 5 and leave it alone.
• Don’t vacuum too often — it weakens the carpet fibers.
• Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere.
