Happy 4th


i'm working, but i hope you all are eating some good bbq for me.

Independence Day, 4th of July Quotes that I found on some website- oh yah! (which is also my right... um, privilage as an American...

“It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” —John Adams

“The Sun never shined on a cause of greater worth.” —Thomas Paine (1776)

“I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.” —John Adams (1776)

“Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!” —George Washington (1779)
