They want to be our shepherds. But that requires us to be sheep. – Thomas Sowell Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
All (totalitarian) versions of society-as-garden define the parts of the social habitat as human weeds. Like all weeds, they must be segregated, contained, prevented from spreading, removed and kept outside the society boundaries; if all these means prove insufficient, they must be killed. – Zygmunt Bauman Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. – Barry Goldwater Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell. – Karl Popper Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. – Lao Tzu Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about 'social justice' all you want. But what death taxes boil down to is letting politicians take money from widows and orphans to pay for goodies that they will hand out to others, in order to buy votes to get re-elected. That is not social justice or any other kind of justice. – Thomas Sowell Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies. – Sir Francis Bacon Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
In my judgment the people of no nation can lose their liberty so long as a Bill of Rights like ours survives and its basic purposes are conscientiously interpreted, enforced and respected so as to afford continuous protection against old, as well as new, devices and practices which might thwart those purposes. I fear to see the consequences of the Court's practice of substituting its own concepts of decency and fundamental justice for the language of the Bill of Rights as its point of departure in interpreting and enforcing that Bill of Rights. – Justice Hugo L. Black Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires. – HEDY LAMARR Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The burning of an author’s books, imprisonment for opinion’s sake, has always been the tribute that an ignorant age pays to the genius of its time. – Joseph Lewis Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district - all studied and appreciated as they merit - are the principal support of virtue, morality, and civil liberty. – Benjamin Franklin Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Woe to that nation whose literature is disturbed by the intervention of power. Because that is not just a violation against freedom of print, it is the closing down of the heart of the nation, a slashing to pieces of its memory. The nation ceases to be mindful of itself, it is deprived of its spiritual unity, and despite a supposedly common language, compatriots suddenly cease to understand one another. – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. – Stephen King Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers. – Jack Handey Famous Quote	added 2 years ago

Equal laws protecting equal rights -- the best guarantee of loyalty and love of country. – James Madison Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive. – Henry Steele Commager Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
My kind of loyalty was to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death. – Mark Twain Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Love your Enemies, for they tell you your faults. – Benjamin Franklin Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
I don't want to be alone; I want to be left alone. – Audrey Hepburn Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy. – Alexandre Dumas Famous Quote	added 3 years ago
