Thoughts
From Tom Mullen
In very practical terms, labor is the means of survival. To claim ownership over another persons labor is to claim ownership over his life. It is the principle that underpins slavery.

From Herbert Spencer
The more numerous public instrumentalities become, the more is there generated in citizens the notion that everything is to be done for them, and nothing by them. Every generation is made less familiar with the attainment of desired ends by individual actions or private agencies; until, eventually, governmental agencies come to be thought of as the only available agencies.

Being In The Presence Of A Good Woman Is As Soothing As A Visit To Heaven; However Being In The Presence Of A Bad Woman, Even If Only Briefly, Can Be Akin To Catching And Dying From The Plague!!

From -Sheldon Richman
We have no need to fear migration or refugees, but those who do fear them might start working to liquidate the United States of American empire, for the chaos it has wreaked in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa is one of the great instigators of mass migration.

From Daniel March
The great thinker is seldom a disputant. He answers other mens arguments by stating the truth as he sees it.

From Edward Abbey
Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.

From John Stuart Mill
The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.

From William Somerset Maugham
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.

From John C. Sparks
Real freedom means the least government -- government conspicuous by its absence -- with sufficient power only to protect life, liberty, and property from frauds, thieves, and murderers. Real freedom means the full right of ownership and to make decisions for ones self and ones family.

From Henry Hazlitt
If a government resorts to inflation, that is, creates money in order to cover its budget deficits or expands credit in order to stimulate business, then no power on earth, no gimmick, device, trick or even indexation can prevent its economic consequences.

From Ms Stacey Abrams
"I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election! "This is not a speech of concession. Because concession means to acknowledge an action that is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. To watch an elected official who claims to represent the people in the state boldly pin his hopes on suppression on the peoples democratic right to vote, has been truly appalling!! Voting is not a right for some. It is a right for all and it is not a privilege. I stand here today as a witness to that truth."

From Hal Moore
When the blood of any war soaks your clothes and covers your hands, and soldiers die in your arms, every breath forever more becomes an appeal for a greater peace, unity and reconciliation.

From Clarence B. Carson
Men may adjust to the new disorder, resume the course of their lives as best they can, and submit more or less to conditions. In time, they may even forget that the system is maintained by force, or that things could be otherwise. After all, most peoples at most times have lived under varying degrees of oppression. Nonetheless, ameliorative reform introduces violence into life. The force charged with keeping the peace becomes the disturber of the peace. Traditional relationships are disrupted. Liberty is restricted and reduced.
