To make democracy work, we must be a notion of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain. – Louis LAmour
No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process. – Louis LAmour
Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself. – Louis L’Amour
Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him. – Louis LAmour
