Gratitude is the bridge between scarcity and contentment, and between abundance and fulfillment; fostering peace while inspiring growth. Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 6 days ago
Resisting change is like holding your breath; eventually, you must let go to survive. Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 6 days ago
As I write in my journal, the ink flows like the blue sky above, and with each word, I feel a sense of peace knowing that I'm coming home. ~ Naad-Dre Amos Naad-Dre Amos	added by naaddre_a 7 days ago
While it would be silly and ungracious to insist that intelligent deliberation on public issues is nowhere found in modern communities, it would be naive to imagine that wise deliberation can survive the constant pounding from self-interested political behavior. Benevolence in public institutions has a short half-life no matter how noble its original intentions. and Once [a] program is in place, its day-to-day administration falls into the hands of a professional cadre besieged by powerful interest groups whose influence grows as public interest wanes. . . . A slow process of disintegration and reconfiguration sets in, transforming and expanding a program from within. Richard A. Epstein	added by Normando 7 days ago
No victim of crime should be required to surrender his life, health, safety, personal dignity, or property to a criminal, nor should a victim be required to retreat in the face of an attack. Wayne LaPierre	added by Normando 7 days ago
Concepts of justice must have hands and feet, or they remain sterile abstractions. The hands and feet we need are efficient means and methods to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost. Justice Warren E. Burger	added by Normando 7 days ago
It's the misfortune of all Countries, that they sometimes lie under a unhappy necessity to defend themselves by Arms against the ambition of their Governors, and to fight for what's their own. If those in government are heedless of reason, the people must patiently submit to Bondage, or stand upon their own Defence; which if they are enabled to do, they shall never be put upon it, but their Swords may grow rusty in their hands; for that Nation is surest to live in Peace, that is most capable of making War; and a Man that hath a Sword by his side, shall have least occasion to make use of it. John Trenchard	added by Normando 7 days ago
The people’s right to obtain information does not, of course, depend on any assured ability to understand its significance or use it wisely. Facts belong to the people simply because they relate to interests that are theirs, government that is theirs, and votes that they may desire to cast, for they are entitled to an active role in shaping every fundamental decision of state. Edmond Cahn	added by Normando 7 days ago
There is danger in the concentration of control in the television and radio networks, especially in the large television and radio stations; danger in the concentration of ownership in the press… and danger in the increasing concentration of selection by book publishers and reviewers and by the producers of radio and television programs. Eugene McCarthy	added by Normando 7 days ago
The act of voting is one opportunity for us to remember that our whole way of life is predicated on the capacity of ordinary people to judge carefully and well. Alan Keyes	added by Normando 7 days ago
A man is none the less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. Lysander Spooner	added by Normando 7 days ago
Without general elections, without unrestrained freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution…in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element. Rosa Luxemburg	added by Normando 7 days ago
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. Sir Alex Fraser Tytler	added by Normando 7 days ago
The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed. Alexander Hamilton	added by Normando 7 days ago
People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote -- a very different thing. Walter H. Judd	added by Normando 7 days ago
In the US, voters cast ballots for individual candidates who are not bound to any party program except rhetorically, and not always then. Some Republicans are more liberal than some Democrats, some libertarians are more radical than some socialists, and many local candidates run without any party identification. No American citizen can vote intelligently without knowledge of the ideas, political background, and commitments of each individual candidate. Ben H. Bagdikian	added by Normando 7 days ago
To permit every interest group, especially those who claim to be victimized by unfair expression, their own legislative exceptions to the First Amendment so long as they succeed in obtaining a majority of legislative votes in their favor demonstrates the potentially predatory nature of what defendants seek through this Ordinance. Sarah Evans Barker	added by Normando 7 days ago
Without bigots, eccentrics, cranks and heretics the world would not progress. Frank Gelett Burgess	added by Normando 7 days ago
A fanatic is a person who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. Sir Winston Churchill	added by Normando 7 days ago
Every really new idea looks crazy at first. Alfred North Whitehead	added by Normando 7 days ago
The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls -- the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning. Henry David Thoreau	added by Normando 7 days ago
An anarchist is an uncompromising liberal. Emile Faguet	added by Normando 7 days ago
The first great struggle for liberty was in the realm of thought. The libertarians reasoned that freedom of thought would be good for mankind; it would promote knowledge, and increased knowledge would advance civilization. But the authoritarians protested that freedom of thought would be dangerous, that people would think wrong, that a few were divinely appointed to think for the people. Charles T. Sprading	added by Normando 7 days ago
Music is an international language which speaks from heart to heart. Maria Von Trapp	added by Normando 7 days ago
