Description
As I sat at keyboard to write the SEO description of Lady Liberty Weeps I thought about her history. I’m afraid I’ve taken for granted that everyone knows the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France the nation that helped the U.S. come into existence back during the Revolutionary War. The United States of America fought the colonial giant Great Britain for a self-determining sovereignty. These great secrets are hidden in things we call books. At this point I turn to greater minds for commentary that may help the interested seek more of the knowing. “History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain. The reason Lady Liberty Weeps is because she knows that her charges have forgotten another truism. And that is as Cicero said, “To be ignorant of the past is to be forever a child.” Personally, I’m inclined to agree with Marcus Aurelius who stated, “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be One!” And the quote from an author from whom we should have listened and learned much is George Orwell who opined, “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” Let’s turn to Einstein and his response to the question regarding the speed of sound. He said, “I do not carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books. The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think.” Think about it if you dare! You know what would be a good idea? Get Lady Liberty Weeps from VivaChas and put it up in your library. What? Don’t got no stinkin’ library? Well, there’s your problem! I know a place that will loan you books! Haas! BTW, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” - Albert Einstein ~;0) VivaChas!
