I agree with this quote. It speaks Truth.

You don't have to be a tyrant to pervert the plain meaning of words. I know of some people who do it often who are not tyrants.

In my opinion, there is some truth in the first sentence of this quote. As for the 2nd sentence of this quote, I agree for those with primitive minds, this is true. Many people would not be ashamed to tell big lies so I don't agree with that part of the quote. One more thing... "Real Eyes Realize Real Lies"! (KS)

I agree with the first 2 sentences of this quote .I don't know where, how or if the 3rd sentence of this quote fits in.

We all must speak for ourselves.

Nodding my head.yes.It's a shame.

I can't say that I'm surprised at this statement.

The words of this quote are true.What more can I say?

This quote is true.One could also substitute the words "elected" for "shepard" and "constituants" for "sheep"......One more thing.In the words of a great writer,Kevin Shearer,..."Real Eyes Realize Real Lies".In other words..."the eyes of Truth cannot be fooled".

Great quote. Makes a good point.

This quote is encouraging. It also brought a smile to my face.

Well said quote. Sad and true.

Well,I guess that brings us up to the present.

Some how I think that "The People" have a form of liberty that can not be confiscated by any government.It is the liberty of Being.Each of us are spiritual beings having a human experience and the core of true liberty is a characteristic of our spiritual essence which can only be relinquished willingly and individually.To do so would be a big mistake,in my eyes.

Thomas Paine has some really good quotes.I believe this is one of them.In regards to this quote,I would say it's 99.9% true.

If this is true (and to a large degree,I believe it is) such men of authority are more dangerous than a fully loaded hand gun in the hands of a 5yr. old in a Kindergarden class.

I really like this quote.It's soo Contemporary.

In response to this quote,I would say "No".

Isn't it interesting (and sad) how people interpret words/phrases to mean what they would wish? I would agree with this quote and my remark above is directed at no one individual.I'm just making an observation based on my life's experience.Have a good day all.

True Unlimited Power is reserved for Our Maker. Those who believe they have unlimited power are sorely mistaken. And corrupt.

This quote explains the very essence how important it is that we stay a United group of States in the face of threats and how imperative it is that we look out for one another as Americans because a threat to any one of us is a threat to each one of us. Our country,any country for that matter, is only as strong as it's weakest characteristic. God Bless Liberty. God Bless the USA.

Hey David, Real eyes realize real lies. Need I say anymore?

There is Yin/Yang in this quote. For me, this quote is like a breath of fresh air.

Absolutely. Liberty is the pulse of unrealized potential in search of manifestation. A positive power without form.The stretching of conciousness as it awakens from unawareness. Liberty is all these and more. It is the womb of free will.

These are the words of an individual who has "seen" Truth.
