Wordy Wednesday

It's Wednesday.  For many, it's one of the busier days of the week.  You realize all the work that must be done before Friday.  Maybe you have commitments in the evening that tie you up. Maybe you are just tired after a couple long days at work.

Regardless, Wordy Wednesday here at 'The Sunset Won't' is a quote, short passage or verse that I enjoy and want to share with you.  Today's quotes are from National Treasure 2.

Ben Gates: Before the Civil War, the states were all separate. People used to say "United States are." Wasn't until the war ended, people started saying "The United States is." Under Lincoln, we became one nation.

Patrick Gates: And Lincoln paid for it with his life.

Mitch Wilkinson: I'm just a man, trying to make his mark on history.

Mitch Wilkinson: A man has only one lifetime. But history can remember you forever.

Riley Poole: Look at it this way - in a hundred years, no one is gonna remember anyone involved in the Lincoln assassination besides Booth.

Ben Gates: That's not true. Do you know the expression "His name is mud?"

Riley Poole: Yes, of course.

Ben Gates: You do? Do you know the origin of the expression?

Riley Poole: Does anyone but you?

Ben Gates: Dr. Samuel Mudd was convicted of being a co-conspirator in the Lincoln assassination. The evidence was circumstantial, he was later pardoned, but it didn't matter. Mudd's name still lives in infamy, and I will not let Thomas Gates' name be mud.
