I was reading a few words by our founding fathers on the subject of debt. Books written by W. Cleon Skousen.
"Think what you do when you run in debt; you give to another the power over your liberty." -- Benjamin Franklin
The English author William Makepeace Thackeray reflected those feelings when he wrote these words in Vanity Fair: "How well those live who are comfortably and thoroughly in debt: how they deny themselves nothing; how jolly and easy they are in their minds." Vanity Fair, 2 vols. in 1, Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York, 1893, 1:208.
"...poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue: 'Tis hard for an empty bag to stand upright".
About Me
- Mr. Andrew
- I guess I could be classified as somewhat of an extremist in the categories of philosophy, politics, and theology. These subjects go hand in hand and I could talk about them forever. No, really, FORRRRREVVVVVVVER. Philosophy- Formed from Old French philosophe via Latin from Greek philosophos , literally “lover of knowledge,” from sophia “learning, wisdom.” Theology- The word "Theology" is of Greek origin; it comes to us from Theos, meaning God, and logos-a treatise, or discourse, signifying by derivation, therefore collated knowledge of Deity, or the science that teaches us of God, implying also the relation existing between Him and His creatures. Politics- When I refer to politics I mean the principles on the which our country was founded, not the negative stigma that attends the filthy rhetoric of corrupt politicians!
