Views From the Valley

There is a lot of beauty out here in the country. It takes awhile to get used to the peace and quiet, but it is worth it

All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron

And here is one more quotation,

In a free country, where public opinion is neither regimented or surpressed, there arises, in certain instances, when the feelings of the people are deeply stirred, a great roaring of wind of protest. It may begin only as a faint whisper, an individual murmur. But it grows, travels, and expands with unbelievable rapidity and strength until it reaches hurricane force. When such a tornado occurs, it is usless for those in power to attempt to stand against it. They must bend or be broken. Then it is that government by the people, for the people, is given its true effect.
