There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.~ Shirley Chisholm If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.~ Noam Chomsky From a comparative perspective, the United States is unusual if not unique in the lack of restraints on freedom of expression. It is also unusual in the range and effectiveness of methods employed to restrain freedom of thought... Where the voice of the people is heard, elite groups must insure their voice says the right things.~ Noam Chomsky Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.~ Sir Winston Churchill We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.~ Sir Winston Churchill Never give in. Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.~ Sir Winston Churchill Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: 'We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls.'~ Sir Winston Churchill If you have 10,000 regulations, you destroy all respect for the law.~ Sir Winston Churchill Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.~ Sir Winston Churchill The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery.~ Sir Winston Churchill I like a man who grins when he fights.~ Sir Winston Churchill Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.~ Marcus Tullius Cicero Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.~ Marcus Tullius Cicero Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
