"The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ― Lyn Nofziger Topic(s): Attitude More From Lyn Nofziger "I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said." "The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country." "I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom, but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives." More In Attitude "When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said – and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded – ‘It’s like hair color. It’s nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It’s not a subject.’ This was a very healthy attitude."― Karl Lagerfeld "I really believe you can predict when someone has a great attitude, a real well of talent."― Taylor Hackford "Tommie Aaron taught me how to have a good attitude, to be easy going and not get uptight."― Dale Murphy
