Maybe stay on topic, rate the quotes, and make cogent and relevant comments.  Make an argument, respect others' comments, and stop spamming the blog with the same posts about socialism and you.  Perhaps stop initiating aggression towards the other users.  Stop re-posting the same comment with spelling and grammatical corrections.  I am the Editor and will edit what does not contribute to the value of this site.  Consider it a courtesy that you have not been 'edited' altogether. 

Sorry, Mike, I have removed all of this 'diatribe' — not a dialogue.  Sillik, apology not accepted.

Fredrick, feel free to engage with others, even resulting in multiple posts, like your previous dialogues with Mike.  Just keep a balance and please don't dominate the comment feed.  Cheers.

Fredrick, please keep your enthusiasm in check.  One reply per quote is sufficient unless in a dialogue — not a monologue.  Repeating the same comment everywhere dilutes anything intelligent you might be saying buried in your posts.  Thank you.

The Federalist Papers were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the collective pseudonym "Publius" to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution.  

The scholarly detective work of Douglass Adair in 1944 postulated the following assignments of authorship, corroborated in 1964 by a computer analysis of the text:

Alexander Hamilton (51 articles: Nos. 1, 6–9, 11–13, 15–17, 21–36, 59–61, and 65–85)
James Madison (29 articles: Nos. 10, 14, 18–20,[15] 37–58 and 62–63)
John Jay (5 articles: Nos. 2–5 and 64).

Thanks, Etaoin.  The quote is in reference to the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention of 1780.  The source and link have been updated with more complete information.  

The quote is unsourced but popularly attributed to Paine in hundreds, if not thousands of publications.

A similar quote can be found in The Rights of Man, Part 2, chapter 2 (emphasis added):

The trade of courts is beginning to be understood, and the affectation of mystery, with all the artificial sorcery by which they imposed upon mankind, is on the decline. It has received its death-wound; and though it may linger, it will expire. Government ought to be as much open to improvement as anything which appertains to man, instead of which it has been monopolised from age to age, by the most ignorant and vicious of the human race. Need we any other proof of their wretched management, than the excess of debts and taxes with which every nation groans, and the quarrels into which they have precipitated the world?

Thank you, Greg.  The typo has been fixed.

This quote has been misattributed to Ben Franklin.  It is actually from Gideon J. Tucker, Final Accounting in the Estate of A.B., 1 Tucker 248 (N.Y. Surr. 1866), in a decision of a will case:
“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.”

Well done, Mike! I just formatted your post for readability.  

The source has been updated.  Tocqueville prefaces by saying:

"I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world.

The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives."

Actually, the quote is from Calvin Coolidge in a speech commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Hmm, you are right.  We'll find the source.  Thanks.

Thank you, Jonathon, you are right!  The quote is actually from The Virginian, April 1956, which had been quoted in The American Mercury.  The source has been updated.  Cheers!

Thank you, Lance, for clearing this up!  The quote is actually from The Virginian, April 1956.  The source has been updated.  Cheers!

Thank you, Kevin, we have put the full quote here: http://libertytree.ca/quotes/John.Stuart.Mill.Quote.C8CE

Hi, Jim.  I was under the impression you could pay with a credit card without setting up a Paypal account.  Look for a payment method for a credit card.

The Latin phrase "Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium" is in the letter from Jefferson to Madison, verbatim.  He was not directly quoting Count Palatine, but it was an idiom of which both were familiar. 

Would you prefer the original Latin?

"Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem."

Jefferson and Madison were versed in Latin and Greek, often included famous idioms in their writing.  The phrase is in a letter from Jefferson to Madison on January 30, 1787.

Shall we put this to rest? We are happy to remake the meme in Latin for the purists. The English translation of the phrase will stand.

Dick, according to our logs, your initial post was made 5/20/2005, and the IP address is in the same range.  This was your post; we would not and do not make posts on others' behalf.

The source has been updated to reflect this quote is indeed from George Strasser.  Thank you!

Thank you, Stuart.  The quote source has been updated.  The quote is from a pamphlet by Gregor Strasser here.
