No . Actually it's 2 different quotes. The first half of it , I can't remember where it's from . The other half is a quote from William Penn ,The man who founded the State of Rhode Island . ,I think . Come to think of it....the first half is most likely one of the founding fathers of America. I thought that they went together quite well. Though they may be old ....and it would seem , forgotten by many .......they sure are applicable to todays political climate. ...Glad someone out there appreciates it. :smokin:
