If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.~ Robert A. Heinlein I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.~ Matthew Henry Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of freemen. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.~ Patrick Henry ...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...so long as our manners and principles remain sound, there is no danger.~ Patrick Henry Man's character is his fate.~ Heraclitus Dare to be true. Nothing can need a lie: A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby.~ George Herbert It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it.~ A. A. Hodge There can be no public or private virtue unless the foundation of action is the practice of truth.~ George Jacob Holyoake Truth telling, I have found, is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: every single one was a liar.~ J. Edgar Hoover The man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself; and he wants others to be themselves, also.~ Elbert Hubbard When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.~ Indian Saying Courage without conscience is a wild beast.~ Robert G. Ingersoll The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts her in the hour of danger.~ Andrew Jackson We are not final because we are infallible, but infallible only because we are final.~ Justice Robert H. Jackson A war, even the most successfull one, is a national misfortune.~ Helmuth James Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us.~ Thomas Jefferson When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.~ Thomas Jefferson It is a great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all it's good dispositions.~ Thomas Jefferson An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.~ Thomas Jefferson The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors~ Thomas Jefferson Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
