I couldn't find the original quote thread....so here are some new ones I shamelessly stole from others....
"Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws."
-- John Adams
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."
--Blaise Pascal
“When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.” Dorothy Thompson
Labels are used by people with small minds to sum up large concepts, usually incorrectly.
A civilized free man's home includes a library and an armory.
"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim."
Our enemy has the will to destroy us, but lacks the means.
We have the means to destroy our enemy, but lack the will.
It is a race to see who gets what first.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies,
in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, U.S. general and 34th president (1890-1969)
There are three kinds of people in the world... Those who are good at math, and those who aren't.
When we are taxed on our earned incomes, in our food and our drink, in our coming and going, in our property, we will face the return of slavery and the reestablishment of an all-powerful and despotic elite.
Thomas Jefferson
