Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights - the right to education, the right to health care, the right to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are rations of slavery - hay and a barn for human cattle. There's only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. – P. J. O'Rourke Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The Tenth Commandment sends a message to socialists, to egalitarians, to people obsessed with fairness, to American presidential candidates in the year 2000 - to everyone who believes that wealth should be redistributed. And that message is clear and concise: Go to Hell. – P. J. O'Rourke Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
There’s a whiff of the lynch mob or the lemming migration about any over-large concentration of like-minded individuals, no matter how virtuous their cause. – P. J. O'Rourke Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
No Gulag, evidently, can deter the advocates of state power from believing in their own virtue and in the morality of the power they exercise. We are all Hobbesians now. Virtue is presumed to reside in the state. Its reliance on compulsion is seen as fulfilling, not undermining, morality. Our communicators, oddly employed in the private sector, work tirelessly to ensure that state control is maintained, our taxes stay high, the official message is promoted. The people know, and can only know, a tiny fraction of what Leviathan does, and what they know is what these partisans tell them. – Tom Bethel Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
What gives the new despotism its peculiar effectiveness is indeed its liaison with humanitarianism, but beyond this fact its capacity for entering into the smallest details of human life. – Robert Nisbet Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness. – Anne Frank Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
To talk well and eloquently is a very great art, but that an equally great one is to know the right moment to stop. – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. – Margaret Thatcher Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. – C. S. Lewis Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The cruelest lies are often told in silence. – Robert Louis Stevenson Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Trees are not known by their leaves, nor even by their blossoms, but by their fruits. – Eleanor of Aquitaine Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Choice by the people themselves is not generally distinguished for its wisdom. – Thomas Jefferson Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished. – Sir Denison Miller Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The most may err as grossly as the few. – John Dryden Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
You can get through life with bad manners, but it’s easier with good manners. – Lillian Gish Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges. (The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.) – Cornelius Tacitus Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
We now have so many regulations that everyone is guilty of some violation. – Donald Alexander Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. – Benjamin Franklin Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The common man is the sovereign consumer whose buying or abstention from buying ultimately determines what should be produced and in what quantity and quality. – Ludwig Von Mises Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
But there is another strong objection which I, one of the laziest of all the children of Adam, have against the Leisure State. Those who think it could be done argue that a vast machinery using electricity, water-power, petrol, and so on, might reduce the work imposed on each of us to a minimum. It might, but it would also reduce our control to a minimum. We should ourselves become parts of a machine, even if the machine only used those parts once a week. The machine would be our master, for the machine would produce our food, and most of us could have no notion of how it was really being produced. – Gilbert Keith Chesterton Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. – Eleanor Roosevelt Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
All Men have a Right to remain in a State of Nature as long as they please: And in case of intolerable Oppression, civil or religious, to leave the Society they belong to and enter into another. When Men enter into Society, it is by voluntary Consent, and they have a Right to demand and insist upon the performance of such Conditions and previous Limitations as form an equitable original Compact. – Samuel Adams Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
There is but one law for all, namely, that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity -- the law of nature, and of nations. – Edmund Burke Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
