I was taught when I was a young reporter that it's news when we say it is. I think that's still true -- it's news when 'we' say it is. It's just who 'we' is has changed. Members of the public, people with modems, people with cell phones are now producers, editors. They can push and push and push on a story until it ends up being acknowledged by everyone. – David Carr Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and as continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries. – Carl Friedrich Gauss Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. – Dwight D. Eisenhower Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Instead of fostering a system that enables people to help themselves, America is now saddled with a system that destroys value, raises costs, hinders innovation and relegates millions of citizens to a life of poverty, dependency and hopelessness. This is what happens when elected officials believe that people’s lives are better run by politicians and regulators than by the people themselves. Those in power fail to see that more government means less liberty, and liberty is the essence of what it means to be American. Love of liberty is the American ideal. – Charles Koch Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Now the truth of the matter is, there is nothing wrong with this country. Please. The message I want to leave with you is that there's nothing wrong with this country that the proper leadership won't cure. We've been here before. In 1787, the economy of our nation was in absolute chaos and as a consequence, they met in Philadelphia to form a new country, and when they did, they did the right things, and in the second State of the Union address, which was written at that time by George Washington, he said the foundations, the economic foundations of our nation are on such sound footing that it would have been a madman would have suspected 3 years ago. The fact is that the chaos that they're creating doesn't mean that America can or has to be in decline. It means that we need to remove them as rapidly as possible and get people that know what to do and America will continue to climb. – Bob McEwen Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
If you are wise, mingle these two elements: do not hope without despair, or despair without hope. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it… What is this liberty that must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not the freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check on their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few -- as we have learned to our sorrow. What then is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias... – Learned Hand Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
The type and formula of most schemes of philanthropy or humanitarianism is this: A and B put their heads together to decide what C shall be made to do for D. The radical vice of all these schemes, from a sociological point of view, is that C is not allowed a voice in the matter, and his position, character, and interests, as well as the ultimate effects on society through C's interests, are entirely overlooked. I call C the Forgotten Man. – William Graham Sumner Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Man is condemned to be free. – Jean-Paul Sartre Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Never assume the obvious is true. – William Safire Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Indeed the Idols I have loved so long, have done my credit in this World much wrong; have drowned my Glory in a shallow Cup, and sold my Reputation for a Song. – Omar Khayyam Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought. – Albert Szent-Gyorgi Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than the opposite. – Nelson Mandela Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost. – Arthur Ashe Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
The system of private property is the most important guaranty of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not. – Friedrich August von Hayek Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. – Hermann Goering Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
There is nothing that can help you understand your beliefs more than trying to explain them to an inquisitor – Frank Clark Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
The history of totalitarian regimes is reflected in the evolution and perfection of the instruments of terror and more especially the police. – Carl J. Friedrich Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already. … What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’ – Adolf Hitler Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Newspaper editors separate the wheat from the chaff -- and print the chaff. – Adlai E. Stevenson II Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. – Tad Williams Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. – Thomas Jefferson Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
Perhaps I can summarise it best by saying this -- Nations that have pursued equality, like the Iron Curtain countries, I think have finished up with neither equality, nor liberty. Nations, which like us, in the past have pursued liberty, as a fundamental objective, extending it to all, have finished up with liberty, human dignity, and far fewer inequalities than other people. – Margaret Thatcher Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
In republican governments, men are all equal; equal they are also in despotic governments: in the former, because they are everything; in the latter, because they are nothing. – Charles-Louis de Secondat Famous Quote	added 12 months ago
