Brandeis, US Supreme Court JusticeThe greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding. 08/22/06 :: Quote :: John Stuart MillIf mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind. 07/31/05 :: Quote :: Thomas JeffersonI would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it. 05/17/05 :: Reference :: (link) :: Secret Way to War05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick Henry [disputed]I know not what course others make take, but as for me: give me Liberty, or give me death. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: George Bernard ShawLiberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: John F. KennedyLet every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick HenryGuard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. 02/10/07 :: Quote :: Sir Francis BaconSilence is the virtue of fools. 02/07/08 :: Quote :: C.P. SnowWhen you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. 01/28/05 :: Quote :: Frederick DouglassNo man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. 01/08/06 :: Reference :: (link) :: UK report upcoming on psychosis effects of cannabis (pot) 10/22/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: Indymedia.org10/09/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: Two Civilized Men Among the Barbarians10/03/05 :: Quote :: Henry KissingerWe must learn to distinguish morality from moralizing. 10/03/05 :: Quote :: John MiltonHere the great art lies, to discern in what the law is to be to restraint and
punishment, and in what things persuasion only is to work.
09/04/03 :: Quote :: O'RourkeOne of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Richard Kerry (R-Florida)I think that the free-enterprise system is absolutely too important to be left to the voluntary action of the marketplace. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Arthur C. ClarkeYou can't have it both ways. You can't have both free will and a benevolent higher power who protects you from yourself. 08/01/05 :: Quote :: Thomas JeffersonThe care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills. 07/24/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: The Future Begins Now07/24/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: Ghost In The Machine07/21/05 :: Reference :: (link) :: The Myth of Marriage05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick Henry [disputed]Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! 05/12/06 :: Quote :: AristotleA tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick HenryThe liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Samuel AdamsIf ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. |
