From Poor Richards Almanac 1743
The world is full of fools and faint hearts; and yet every one has courage
enough to bear the misfortunes, and wisdom enough to manage the affairs of
his/her neighbor.

there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war

From Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm
I want history to remember me not just as the first black woman to be
elected to Congress, not as the first black woman to have made a bid for
the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in the
20th century and dared to be herself.

From Thrasymachus the Sophist by Plato
Justice is merely the advantage of the stronger - Injustice, if it is on a
large enough scale, is stronger, firmer, and more masterful than justice.

I like the Libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone. Even as a

From Henry Hazlitt
If the welfarist-socialist-inflationist- trend of recent years continues
in this country, the outlook is dark. It is a prospect of mounting taxation,
snowballing expenditures, chronic deficits, a budget out of control, an
accelerating rate of inflation of the kind endemic in Latin America (at
least for the last generation), a collapse of the dollar, increasing world
currency chaos, and more and more ruthless price, wage, and exchange
controls, leading toward a regimented economy and dictatorship. And if this
trend is interrupted temporarily, it may be by riots, assassinations, and
a breakdown of law and order.

From George Mason
That no free government, or the blessing of liberty, can be preserved to
any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance,
frugality, and virtue, and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.
