Who will exercise control? What type of control will be exercised? Most important of all, toward what end or purpose, or in the pursuit of what value, will control be exercised?~ Carl Rogers One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.~ Will Rogers Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don't hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous.~ Will Rogers I am convinced that we can do to guns what we've done to drugs: create a multi-billion dollar underground market over which we have absolutely no control.~ George L. Roman Give me control over a man's economic actions, and hence over his means of survival, and except for a few occasional heroes, I'll promise to deliver to you men who think and write and behave as I want them to.~ Benjamin A. Rooge Spiritual leadership should remain spiritual leadership and the temporal power should not become too important in any church.~ Eleanor Roosevelt A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad.~ Franklin D. Roosevelt I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy and seeking to prevent general European trouble.~ Franklin D. Roosevelt We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity.~ Theodore Roosevelt During the last dozen years the tales of suppression of free assemblage, free press, and free speech, by local authorities or the State operating under martial law have been so numerous as to have become an old story. They are attacked at the instigation of an economically and socially powerful class, itself enjoying to the full the advantages of free communications, but bent on denying them to the class it holds within its power...~ Edward Alsworth Ross The Americans of 1776 were among the first men in modern society to defend rather than to seek an open society and constitutional liberty.... Perhaps the most remarkable characteristic of this political theory sits in its deep-seated conservatism. However radical the principles of the Revolution may have seemed to the rest of the world, in the minds of the colonists they were thoroughly preservative and respectful of the past.~ Clinton Lawrence Rossiter III The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State, including classical Aristotelian and Thomist philosophers, is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.~ Murray N. Rothbard It is curious that people tend to regard government as a quasi-divine, selfless, Santa Claus organization. Government was constructed neither for ability nor for the exercise of loving care; government was built for the use of force and for necessarily demagogic appeals for votes. If individuals do not know their own interests in many cases, they are free to turn to private experts for guidance. It is absurd to say that they will be served better by a coercive, demagogic apparatus.~ Murray N. Rothbard Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws.~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply.~ Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild There is no subjugation so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom for in that way one captures volition itself.~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau There is no subjugation so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom for in that way one captures volition itself.~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms his strength into right, and obedience into duty.~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau I never could believe that Providence had sent a few men into the world, ready booted and spurred to ride, and millions ready saddled and bridled to be ridden.~ Richard Rumbold Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
