Yet More From Ludwig von Mises
No One Can Find A Safe Way Out For Himself If Society Is Sweeping
Towards Destruction. Therefore Everyone, In His Own Interests, Must
Thrust Himself Vigorously Into The Intellectual Battle. No One Can
Stand Aside With Unconcern; The Interests Of Everyone Hang On The
Result. Whether He So Chooses To Or Not, Every Man Is Drawn Into The
Great Historical Struggle, The Decisive Battle Into Which Our Present
Epoch Has Plunged Us.

Yet More From Thomas Jefferson
Though Written Constitutions May Be Violated In Moments Of Passion Or
Delusion, Yet They Furnish A Text To Which Those Who Are Watchful May
Once Again Rally And Recall The People. They Fix, Too, For The People
The Principles Of Their Political Creed.

More From Georg Hegel
What Experience And History Teach Is This - That People And Their
Governments Never Have Learned Anything From History, Nor
Acted Upon The Principles Deduced From It

From Zechariah Chafee, Jr.
We Must Choose Between Freedom And Fear - We Cannot Have Both. If The
Citizens Of The United States Persist In Being Afraid, The Real Rulers
Of This Country Will Be The Fanatics Fired Up With A Zeal To Save Grown
Men From Objectionable Ideals By Putting Them Under The Care Of Official
Government Nursemaids.

From Edward Gibbon
History Is Indeed Little More Than The Register Of The Crimes,
Follies, And Misfortunes Of Mankind

From Malik El-Shabazz
The Press Is So Powerful In Its Image-Making Role, It Can Make A Criminal
Look Like He Is The Victim And Make The Victim Look Like He Is The
Criminal. This Is The Press, An Irresponsible Press. If You Are Not
Careful, The Newspapers Will Have You Hating The People Who Are Being
Oppressed And Loving The People Who Are Doing The Oppressing.

From Rand Paul the son of Ron Paul
You Cannot Borrow And Borrow And Borrow And Print Money To Pay For This
Deficit Without Repercussions, And The Repercussions Will Be Higher
Prices In The Grocery Stores.

From Merle Miller
Secrecy And A Free, Democratic Government Do Not Mix.

From Michael D. Gaddy
In The America In Which We Now Live, The Government Is Totally Corrupt;
This Includes The Courts, The Judges, The Prosecutors, And Those Paid To
"Serve And Protect." They All Have Taken An Oath To "Protect And Defend"
But Set About Immediately To Destroy The Object Of Their Sworn Allegiance.
Those Of Us Who Cherish And Tenaciously Hang On To Our Human Rights
Are Now Seen As "Domestic Terrorists" And A Threat To Their Criminal Enterprise.

From Alvin Toffler
The Illiterate Of The 21st Century Will Not Be Those Who Cannot Read
And Write, But Those Who Cannot Learn, Unlearn, And Relearn.

From Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The Government Lies In All The Tongues Of Good And Evil, And Whatever
It Says Is Lies, And Whatever It Has, It Has Stolen, Everything It Is,
Is False, It Bites With Stolen Teeth, And It Bites Often, It Is False
Down To Its Bowels.

More From James Bovard
A Democratic Government That Respects No Limits On Its Own Power Is A
Ticking Time Bomb, Just Waiting To Destroy The Very Rights It Was
Created To Protect In The First Place.

From Cousin Lucky
Knowledge Is A Splendid Thing; Unfortunately It Can Not Be Passed
Around The Table, Of Humanity, Like The Gravy.
