More From Thomas Sowell
Does anyone seriously believe that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against owning guns or large-capacity magazines?

More From Frederick Douglass
The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all
concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest
struggle! If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who
profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who
want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without
thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.

From Gene Healy
You may think that Americans have a right to know who we are at war with,
when the government thinks it can kill them, and whether the executive
branch considers the personal data of all Americans "relevant" to
terrorism investigations - but this administration begs to differ. As
far as it is concerned, you can not handle the truth.

From Leslie Snyder
Justice is the only foundation upon which a society of free and independent
people can exist. Justice is a concrete, recognizable, and objective
principle. It is not a matter of opinion.

And More From H.L. Mencken
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.

From Former Congressman Ron Paul
Freedom means not only that our economic activity ought to be free and voluntary, but that government should stay out of our personal affairs as well. In fact, freedom and personal liberty are not divisible. How do you plan to exercise your right to free speech if you are not allowed the economic freedom to acquire the supplies necessary to disseminate your views? Likewise, how can we expect to enjoy privacy rights if our property rights are insecure?

From E. F. Schumacher
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction.

From Abraham Lincoln
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose
our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves!

Timid Men Prefer The Calm Of Despotism To The Boisterous Sea Of Liberty.

From Jesus
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.

From Dwight D. Eisenhower
If all that Americans want is Security, they can go to Prison. They will have
enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to Preserve His Dignity and His Equality as a Human Being, He Must Not
Bow His Neck To Any Dictatorial Government.

From Aldous Huxley
The purpose of propaganda is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human beings.

From Buddha
The Lie tastes sweet at the beginning, but bitter at the end. The Truth tastes bitter at the beginning, but sweet at the end.

From John F. Kennedy
The very word "Secrecy" is repugnant in a Free and Open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.
