LKM's Life Principles

1)Truth matters supremely. The victory of truth over falsehood is more important than consideration of other people's feelings, when they are comfortable with their beliefs in falsehood.

2)Numbers cannot and do not substitute for principle in discernment of right from wrong, truth from falsehood. VOX POPULI VOX HUMBUG!

3)Economic Communism and socio-political liberty cannot and do not co-exist side-by-side.

4)Human rights are God-given, not man-given. Man cannot give rights, but only temporary priviledges. Anything and everything men can give to us, men can also take away from us.

5)Human governments are a necessary evil, not a consumation devoutly to be wished. In problem-solving, government should be a last resort, not a first preference.

6)The rich are those who rejoice in whatever possessions they have.

7)It is supremely important, to give thanks and praise to God when we are on the "up" side of life, and not just to beg his aid when we are on the "down" side of life. My favorite national holiday is not Christmas or Easter, but Thanksgiving. God is never under any obligation to put us and keep us on the "up" sides of life.

8)Whether you win or lose is not as important as how you played the game. Did you play by the rules, or did you cheat to get ahead?

9)WE must take responsibilities, and not just "let George do it".

10)EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW. God is not a respecter of persons, and neither should we be.

11)Name-calling does not get the ball rolling.

12)Actions speak louder than words.

13)If there be no music in heaven, I would prefer never to go there because between heaven and hell, there would then be no difference.

14)Seeing is only half-believing. Experiencing is the other half.

15)With relationship to God, once you have thoroughly established among men Whose you are, it is then completely unnecessary to establish among them, who you are.

16)The test of freedom comes in seeing how much we can get by with saying and doing, when government frowns on it.

17)It is no test of freedom, if the only exercise of it we permit is that exercise with which we all unanimously agree.

18)The degree of ease by which men take offense is merely a reflection of their vanity and pride.

19)Whosoever thinks himself to be wise, is a fool. But whosoever knows himself to be a fool is wise.

20)Today's errors assure to us great lessons for better tomorrows.
