The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may only resort to force only against those who start the use of force. – Ayn Rand Famous Quote	added 4 years ago

Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. – Theodore Roosevelt Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Who profits by a sin has done the sin. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca Famous Quote	added 4 years ago

The most difficult struggle of all is the one within ourselves. Let us not get accustomed and adjusted to these conditions. The one who adjusts ceases to discriminate between good and evil. He becomes a slave in body and soul. Whatever may happen to you, remember always: Don’t adjust! Revolt against the reality! – Mordechai Anielewicz Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
He that complies against his will, is of his own opinion still. – Samuel Butler Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
We must pity the poor wretched, timid soul who is too faint-hearted to resist his oppressors. He sings the song of the dammed: “I can’t fight back; I have too much to lose; I own too much property; I have worked too hard to get what I have; They will put me out of business if I resist; I might go to jail; I have my family to think about.” Such poor miserable creatures have misplaced values and are hiding their cowardice behind pretended family responsibility -- blindly refusing to see that the most glorious legacy that one can bequeath to posterity is liberty; and that the only true security is liberty. – Marvin Cooley Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
If liberty is worth keeping and free representative government worth saving, we must stand for all American fundamentals—not some, but all. All are woven into the great fabric of our national well-being. We cannot hold fast to some only, and abandon others that, for the moment, we find inconvenient. If one American fundamental is prostrated, others in the end will surely fall. – Albert J. Beveridge Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
A greater principle is at stake than the fate of any particular president. – Benjamin Curtis Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
You will ruin no more lives as you ruined mine. You will wring no more hearts as you wrung mine. I will free the world of a poisonous thing. Take that, you hound, and that! -- and that! -- and that! -- and that! – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Every wrong seems possible today, and is accepted. I don't accept it. – Pablo Casals Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Always stand on principle, even if you stand alone. – John Quincy Adams Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The Press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of the government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people. – Justice Hugo L. Black Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
If you are afraid to speak against tyranny, then you are already a slave. – John Bryant Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
