A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness. Walter Bagehot	added by Normando 3 months ago
Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom. Friedrich August von Hayek	added by Normando 3 months ago
that's it go to your room now Pete Docter	added by susana.morod 3 months ago
When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.... [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. Bill Clinton	added by Normando 3 months ago
The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians. Benjamin Disraeli	added by Normando 3 months ago
As is the person's uploaded content's inherent type, so is often the intent & latent character of the people who on that social media post comment and like Anuj Somany	added by Uniqueperson 4 months ago
When true love takes root in hearts, the impossible surrenders and leaves the great life. Prof.Salam Al Shereida	added by eldinusaa 4 months ago
Remember: it's not all talk- it's listening, too Prof.Salam Al Shereida	added by eldinusaa 4 months ago
If you depart from moral absolutes, you go into a bottomless pit. Communism and Naziism were catastrophic evils which both derived from moral relativism. Their differences were minor compared to their similarities. Paul Bede Johnson	added by Normando 4 months ago
Left has come to represent increasing government control. The extreme leftist typically seeks total government. Working their way toward total government power are the Communists, socialists, fascists, and modern liberals who advocate government solutions for every real or imagined problem. John F. McManus	added by Normando 4 months ago
The issue of this campaign -- it IS that word socialism. Some people like it. Younger people like it. Those of us like me, who grew up in a cold war and saw some aspects of it while visiting places like Vietnam, like I have, and seeing countries like Cuba, being there. I’m seeing what socialism’s like. I don’t like it. OK? It’s not only not free. It doesn’t freakin’ work! Chris Matthews	added by Normando 4 months ago
Communism and fascism or Nazism, although poles apart in their intellectual content, are similar in this, that both have emotional appeal to the type of personality that takes pleasure in being submerged in a mass movement and submitting to superior authority. James A. C. Brown	added by Normando 4 months ago
The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word 'Nazi' is a German abbreviation for 'National Socialist' (Nationalsozialist) and the full name of Hitler's political party (translated) was 'The National Socialist German Workers' Party' (In German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei). Dr. John Joseph Ray	added by Normando 4 months ago
The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking. Barry Goldwater	added by Normando 4 months ago
There is no doubt that America is now the prime target of international communism. J. Edgar Hoover	added by Normando 4 months ago
What I had failed to understand was that the security I felt in the Party was that of a group and that affection in that strange communist world is never a personal emotion. You were loved or hated on the basis of group acceptance, and emotions were stirred or dulled by propaganda. That propaganda was made by the powerful people at the top. That is why ordinary Communists get along well with their groups: they think and feel together and work toward a common goal. Bella Dodd	added by Normando 4 months ago
The maxim, that governments ought to train the people in the way in which they should go, sounds well. But is there any reason for believing that a government is more likely to lead the people in the right way than the people to fall into the right way of themselves? Thomas Babington Macaulay	added by Normando 4 months ago
Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause. Lucius Annaeus Seneca	added by Normando 4 months ago
Beware of those who would use violence, too often it is violence they want and neither truth nor freedom. Louis Lamour	added by Normando 4 months ago
I cannot accept, your canon that we are to judge pope and king unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Lord Acton	added by Normando 4 months ago
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save. Johann Georg von Zimmermann	added by Normando 4 months ago
How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words! Samuel Adams	added by Normando 4 months ago
Our lack of constant awareness has also permitted us to accept definitions of freedom that are not necessarily consistent with the actuality of being free. Because we have learned to confuse the word with the reality the word seeks to describe, our vocabulary has become riddled with distorted and contradictory meanings smuggled into the language. Butler D. Shaffer	added by Normando 4 months ago
The end cannot justify the means for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced. Aldous Huxley	added by Normando 4 months ago
