Brad Chapline
 "2019"
​"It is a very good year."

"As an elder, I've finally come to realize my time has truly come and gone.  Because, quite frequently, I've been reminded of this by those of the younger generations.  And, I really do appreciate their observations, even when being insulted is implied.  For, now in the twilight years of my life, I have in the past earned the right to live as much as possible a life of leisure that is free from all the responsibilities and stress of teaching and guiding those that are in the springtime of their lives." 
​>B. Chapline<

"Most vocalists throughout history who have developed a terminal lung disease have seen their singing days abruptly halted.  Not true for me.  Some of my best singing days had just begun."

​Brad's Quotes And Quips


"My most prized possession is my archive of legal documents and certified reports.  Within this maze of paperwork is all the proof I need in writing the truth." 
>B. Chapline<

"Words on the Internet, whether deleted or not, are there forever.  Therefore, fingering corrupt government staff has been one of my greatest pleasures."
​>B. Chapline<

"We The People - and yet again, with jobbery running rampant among our elected officials, we  need to rise up against this government corruption."
>B. Chapline<

"I am most proud to wear the label of being "contumacious".  For, not even the hollow-hearted powers of kith and kin, the military, state government, or the judiciary could finish me off." 
​>B. Chapline<  ​

"A heartless practical joke with a smile is the sincerest form of retaliation."
​>B. Chapline<

"Speaking of the large numbers of kids I grew up with, their intelligence and intellect was developed and nurtured by their mothers.  But, in contrast, I never had that privilege.  I had to learn most everything for myself.  This usually turned out to be the hard way.  But, all in all, as the years passed by, it worked out for the best.  For, my keen insights and shrewdness became far superior to that of any of my peers".​
​>B. Chapline<

To take a steep financial risk in your twenties for the better than average chance of bolstering your retirement is damn smart.  To do the same in your thirties, is pretty smart.  In your forties, not so smart.  In your fifties, ill-advised.  And, to do this in your sixties, just plain stupid."
​>B. Chapline<

"If anyone were to have a conversation with my older brother about me, he would say the last time we communicated, I betrayed him.  He would be right.  I did.  Now, as a senior citizen, my older brother gets the gist of how I felt when he did the same to me when I was a little kid."
>B. Chapline<

"A good many people during my lifetime have made fun of my impaired right eye.  Strange, isn't it, how I've turned out to have a better vision of life than all those who ridiculed me?"

​"When I finally came to realize that I was as good as anyone else and could become a success in life, it was from this point that I somehow always knew what to do, no matter the odds against me and or the situation(s) at hand."
>B. Chapline<

"While most people I knew of were busy making friends and maintaining those alliances, I was preoccupied in building my own personal fortresses that would last me a long time".
​>B. Chapline<

"I know a good many people will be relieved when I'm finally dead and gone.  Simply because, while maybe not possible, I did make public that I had plans to write about every malefactor I ever had to contend with".
>B. Chapline<

"Don't believe everything you read from well trained creative writers.  For, we are all very expressive with a storyteller mindset."

​>B. Chapline<

"I've been defying medical logic for many years.  Doctors, all the way back in 2001, after I incurred a toxic smoke inhalation, were right in saying a human cannot breathe with glue like substances on their lungs.  However, my will to live, while only provisional, has been more powerful."
​>B. Chapline<

>B. Chapline<
