This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them.~ Thomas Jefferson The two principles on which our conduct towards the Indians should be founded, are justice and fear. After the injuries we have done them, they cannot love us ...~ Thomas Jefferson We are reluctant to admit that we owe our liberties to men of a type that today we hate and fear -- unruly men, disturbers of the peace, men who resent and denounce what Whitman called 'the insolence of elected persons' -- in a word, free men. ~ Gerald W. Johnson Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome.~ Dr. Samuel Johnson [Censors are] people with secret attractions to various temptations... They are defending themselves under the pretext of defending others, because at heart they fear their own weaknesses.~ Ernest Jones The deadliest foe of democracy is not autocracy but liberty frenzied.~ Otto Hermann Kahn Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.~ Helen Keller Express everything you like. No word can hurt you. None. No idea can hurt you. Not being able to express an idea or word will hurt you more. Like a bullet.~ Jamaica Kincaid The soft-minded man always fears change. He feels security in the status quo, and he has an almost morbid fear of the new. For him, the greatest pain is the pain of a new idea.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it...

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We must learn to distinguish morality from moralizing.~ Henry Kissinger ...instead it seems that business -- like weight loss -- is a subject wherein hope and fear inspire limitless gullibility.~ Paul Krugman No citizen enjoys genuine freedom of religious conviction until the state is indifferent to every form of religious outlook from Atheism to Zoroastrianism.~ Harold J. Laski We are told there is no cause to fear. When we consider the great powers of Congress, there is great cause of alarm. They can disarm the militia. If they were armed, they would be a resource against great oppressions. The laws of a great empire are difficult to be executed. If the laws of the union were oppressive, they could not carry them into effect, if the people were possessed of the proper means of defence.~ William Lenoir The Seven Deadly Sins of the Press: - Concentrated Power of the Big Press. - Passing of competition and the coming of monopoly. - Governmental control of the press. - Timidity, especially in the face of group and corporate pressures. - Big Business mentality. - Clannishness among the newspaper publishers that has prevented them from criticizing each other. - Social blindness.~ Max Lerner We have on the one hand a desperate need; hunger, sickness, and the dread of war. We have, on the other, the conception of something that might meet it: omnicompetent global technocracy. Are not these the ideal opportunity for enslavement? This is how it has entered before; a desperate need (real or apparent) in the one party, a power (real or apparent) to relieve it, in the other.~ C. S. Lewis To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.~ Abraham Lincoln Authority has every reason to fear the skeptic, for authority can rarely survive in the face of doubt.~ Robert Lindner New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.~ John Locke Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
