(Who will watch the watchers?)~ Juvenal Persecution, whenever it occurs, establishes only the power and cunning of the persecutor, not the truth and worth of his belief.~ H. M. Kallen The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty.~ Immanuel Kant I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.~ Helen Keller There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.~ Helen Keller Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.~ Thomas Kempis Popular revolt against a ruthless, experienced modern dictatorship, which enjoys a monopoly over weapons and communications, ... is simply not a possibility in the modern age.~ George F.

Kettering Those, who are strongly wedded to what I shall call 'the classical theory', will fluctuate, I expect, between a belief that I am quite wrong and a belief that I am saying nothing new. It is for others to determine if either of these or the third alternative is right.~ John Maynard Keynes The difficulty lies not in the new ideas but in escaping from the old ones.~ John Maynard Keynes A man’s greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.~ Genghis Khan Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.~ Nikita Khrushchev The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation.
