The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. – Albert Einstein Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The prohibition law, written for weaklings and derelicts, has divided the nation, like Gaul, into three parts - wets, drys, and hypocrites. – Florence Sabin Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics. There must be a positive passion for the public good, the public interest, honor, power and glory, established in the minds of the people, or there can be no republican government, nor any real liberty: and this public passion must be superior to all private passions – John Adams Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
I am certain that nothing has done so much to destroy the juridical safeguards of individual freedom as the striving after this mirage of social justice. – Friedrich August von Hayek Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
But to manipulate men, to propel them toward goals which you -- the social reformers -- see, but they may not, is to deny their human essence, to treat them as objects without wills of their own, and therefore to degrade them. – Sir Isaiah Berlin Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded. – Charles-Louis de Secondat Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another... All human experience teaches that methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim. – Emma Goldman Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
There are in fact four very significant stumblingblocks in the way of grasping the truth, which hinder every man however learned, and scarcely allow anyone to win a clear title to wisdom, namely, the example of weak and unworthy authority, longstanding custom, the feeling of the ignorant crowd, and the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge. – Roger Bacon Famous Quote	added 5 years ago

I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them. – Haruki Murakami Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world. – Daniel Webster Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice. – Charles de Montesquieu Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face ... was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime ... – George Orwell, 1984 Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
Let therefore every man, that, appealing to his own heart, feels the least spark of virtue or freedom there, think that it is an honor which he owes himself, and a duty which he owes his country, to bear arms. – Thomas Pownhall Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The peaceable part of mankind will be continually overrun by the vile and abandoned while they neglect the means of self-defense. The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like laws discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside... Horrid mischief would ensue were (the good) deprived of the use of them ... the weak will become a prey to the strong. – Thomas Paine Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people. – Jeffrey R. Snyder Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time. – Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. – Chuck Palahniuk Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave. – Jennifer Niven Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren't you. They are just things that happen to you. – Colleen Hoover Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table.... Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem. That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct. – Justice Antonin Scalia Famous Quote	added 5 years ago
