Heinlein Force is the weapon of the weak.~ Ammon Hennacy Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!~ Patrick Henry If we cannot learn, if the only effect upon us of the presence of the dynamiter in our midst is to make us multiply punishments, invent restrictions, increase the number of our official spies, forbid public meetings, interfere with the press, put up gratings -- as in one country they propose to do -- in our House of Commons, scrutinize visitors under official microscopes, request them, as at Vienna, and I think now at Paris also, to be good enough to leave their greatcoats in the vestibules ... I venture to prophesy that there lies before us a bitter and an evil time.~ Auberon Herbert ... every tax or rate, forcibly taken from an unwilling person, is immoral and oppressive.~ Auberon Herbert The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other.

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 It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole.~ Adolf Hitler Gold is not neccesary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That's the bastion of money.~ Adolf Hitler Society's needs come before the individual's needs.~ Adolf Hitler What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven.~ Friedrich Hoelderlin To the frustrated, freedom from responsibility is more attractive than freedom from restraint. They are eager to barter their independence for relief from the burdens of willing, deciding and being responsible for inevitable failure. They willingly abdicate the directing of their lives to those who want to plan, command and shoulder all responsibility.~ Eric Hoffer The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do.~ Eric Hoffer A ruling intelligentsia, whether in Europe, Asia or Africa, treats the masses as raw material to be experimented on, processed, and wasted at will.~ Eric Hoffer I doubt if the oppressed ever fight for freedom. They fight for pride and for power -- power to oppress others. The oppressed want above all to imitate their oppressors; they want to retaliate.~ Eric Hoffer Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
