Cal Thomas
The measure of a great writer is not how many weeks his books spend on the best-seller lists, but how many years his books remain in print after his death.
Cal Thomas
Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent.
