Thoughts
And Yet More From Thomas Jefferson
If Once The People Become Inattentive To The Public Affairs, You And I,
And Congress And Assemblies, Judges and Governors, Shall All Become
Like Wolves. It Seems To Be The law Of Our General Nature, In Spite Of
Individual Exceptions; And Experience Declares That Man Is The Only
Animal Which Devours His Own Kind; For I Can Apply No Milder Term To The
Governments Of Europe, And To The General PREY Of The Rich On The Poor.

The Nazi Regime Represented Not A Unique Evil In World History But Rather
A Now Very Conventional Tragic Combination Of Two Dangerous Ideological
Trends: Nationalism And Socialism. We Know Both ALL TOO WELL.

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 Alan Barth
Free Men Can Never Rely Upon Courts Alone For The Preservation Of Their
Freedom. Courts Can Give Warning Of Danger. But They Are Just Really
Powerless To Protect Us From Ourselves. They Can Remind Us Of Our True
Heritage. But They Cannot Preserve That Heritage For Us.

And Yet More From Ludwig von Mises
If Tyranny And Oppression Come To This Land, It Will Be In The
Guise Of Fighting A Foreign Enemy.

I Think That People Want Peace So Much That One Of These Days
Government Had Better Get Out Of Their Way And Let Them Have It.

From Cathy Young
The Inhuman System That Inspired The Orwell Masterpiece Has Crumbled.
But Doublethink, Newspeak, Thought-Policing And Virtuous Hatred Are
Eternal Temptations Of The Human Soul, Even In The Freest Of Societies.

I Do Believe That International Public Opinion, When It Becomes Powerful
Enough, Will Become The Most Effective Restraint To The Excesses And
Follies Of Particular Governments.

And More From Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You Can Only Have Power Over People So Long As You Do Not Take
Everything Away From Them. But When You Have Robbed A Man Of
Everything He Is No Longer In Your Power - He Is FREE Again.

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 John Steinbeck
And This I Must Fight Against: any Idea, Religion or Government Which
Limits Or Destroys The Individual. This Is What I Am and What I Am About.
I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the
Free Mind, for this is the one thing which can by inspection destroy such
a system.

More From John Adams
I can never join with my voice in the toast which I see in the papers
attributed to one of our gallant naval heroes. I cannot ask of heaven
success, even for my country, in a cause where she should be in the
wrong. Fiat justitia, pereat coelum. My toast would be, may our country
be always successful, but whether successful or otherwise, always right.
