It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin. – James Monroe Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
We cannot expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism. – Nikita Khrushchev Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
Order derived through submission and maintained by terror is not much of a safe guaranty; yet that is the only order that governments have ever maintained. True social harmony grows naturally out of solidarity of interests. In a society where those who always work never have anything, while those who never work enjoy everything, solidarity of interests is non-existent; hence social harmony is but a myth.... Thus the entire arsenal of governments - laws, police, soldiers, the courts, legislatures, prisons - is strenuously engaged in harmonizing the most antagonistic elements in society. – Emma Goldman Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy. History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end. – Felix Frankfurter Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence...The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all. – Louis McFadden Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
It has been said that the greatest threat to our liberty is from well-meaning, and almost imperceptible encroachments upon our personal freedom. – John Louis Coffey Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness. – Walter Bagehot Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians. – Benjamin Disraeli Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
There is no doubt that America is now the prime target of international communism. – J. Edgar Hoover Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
Beware of those who would use violence, too often it is violence they want and neither truth nor freedom. – Louis Lamour Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month 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 Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words! – Samuel Adams Famous Quote	added 1 month ago
