When you get into politics, you find that all your worst nightmares about it turn out to be true, and the people who are attracted to large concentrations of power are precisely the ones who should be kept as far away from it as possible. – Ken Livingstone Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. – H. L. Mencken Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree. – James Madison Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
To be GOVERNED is to be kept in sight, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor the virtue to do so. . . To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction, noted, registered, enrolled, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, squeezed, mystified, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, despised, harassed, tracked, abused, clubbed, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality. – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Famous Quote	added 4 years ago

No one can read our Constitution without concluding that the people who wrote it wanted their government severely limited; the words 'no' and 'not' employed in restraint of government power occur 24 times in the first seven articles of the Constitution and 22 more times in the Bill of Rights. – Edmund A. Opitz Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they’ll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I’m the man you think you are. If you want to know what I’ll do, figure out what you’ll do. I’ll do the same thing–only more of it.” – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke in me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I don’t even call it violence when it’s in self defense; I call it intelligence. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Once I was, yes. But now I have turned my direction away from anything that’s racist. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I am not a racist. I am against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros, and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked, or deceived by the white liberal then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man. The only way that our problem will be solved is when the black man wakes up, clean himself up, stand on his own feet and stop begging the white man, and take immediate steps to do for ourselves the things that we have been waiting on the white man to do for us. – Malcolm X Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Tis a Mistake to think this Fault [tyranny] is proper only to Monarchies; other Forms of Government are liable to it, as well as that. For where-ever the Power that is put in any hands for the Government of the People, and the Preservation of their Properties, is applied to other ends, and made use of to impoverish, harass, or subdue them to the Arbitrary and Irregular Commands of those that have it: There it presently becomes Tyranny, whether those that thus use it are one or many. – John Locke Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
I have no reason to suppose, that he, who would take away my liberty, would not, when he had me in his power, take away every thing else – John Locke Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can. – John Wesley Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. – Immanuel Kant Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
There can be no public or private virtue unless the foundation of action is the practice of truth. – George Jacob Holyoake Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
It is not because we have been free, but because we have a right to be free, that we ought to demand freedom. Justice and liberty have neither birth nor race, youth nor age. – Sir James MacKintosh Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie: A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby. – George Herbert Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous. – Frederick Douglass Famous Quote	added 4 years ago
