Heinlein This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilised nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!~ Adolf Hitler Absolute power corrupts even when exercised for humane purposes.

Humphrey Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, and one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.~ Hubert H. Humphrey None of us would trade freedom of expression for the narrowness of the public censor. America is a free market for people who have something to say, and need not fear to say it.~ Hubert H. Humphrey If [anyone] can find in Title VII ... any language which provides that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color, race, religion, or national origin, I will start eating the pages one after another, because it is not in there.~ Hubert H. Humphrey I believe the State exists for the development of individual lives, not individuals for the development of the state.~ Julian Huxley Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
