Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton In finance, everything that is agreeable is unsound.~ Winston Churchill Liberty is no negation. It is a substantive, tangible reality.~ James A. Garfield There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements.~ Gordon B. Hinckley Any philosophy worth considering must attempt to account for the existence of evil in the world.~ Elie Kedourie Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.~ Charles Mackay The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.~ Edward R. Murrow One can ignore reality, but one cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.~ Ayn Rand Under the surface of this global civilization, a great and secret war is taking place. The two opponents hold different conceptions of Reality. On one side, those who claim that humans operate purely on the basis of stimulus-response, like machines; on the other side, those who believe there is a gigantic thing called freedom. Phase One of the war is already over. The stimulus-response people have won. In Phase Two, people are waking up to the far-reaching and devastating consequences of the Pavlovian program.~ Jon Rappoport There is an irreducible thing. It's called freedom. It is native to every individual. Sometimes it rears its head in the middle of the night, and the dreamer awakes. And he asks himself: what is my freedom for? And then he begins a voyage that no device can record, measure, or analyze. If he pursues it long enough, it takes him out of the labyrinth.~ Jon Rappoport From the moment the first leader of the first clan in human history took charge, he busied himself with this question: 'What can I say and do that will make my people react the way I want them to.' He was the first Pavlov. He was the first psychologist, the first propagandist, the first mind-control boss. His was the first little empire. Since then, only the means and methods have changed.~ Jon Rappoport Just as we suffer from excess in all things, so we suffer from excess in literature; thus we learn our lessons, not for life, but for the lecture room.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Of course, however, the living voice and the intimacy of a common life will help you more than the written word. You must go to the scene of action, first, because men put more faith in their eyes than in their ears, and second, because the way is long if one follows precepts, but short and helpful, if one follows patterns.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition.~ Alvin Toffler In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.~ Jan L.A. van de Snepscheut Political ideas that have dominated the public mind for decades cannot be refuted through rational arguments. They must run their course in life and cannot collapse otherwise than in great catastrophe...~ Ludwig von Mises And here lies the great irony. The people who are the most opposed to free expression are the same people who want to express themselves as freely, outrageously, and disturbingly as imaginable. Self-expression is a right that they want to keep all to themselves. The rest of us must express ourselves in a way that conforms precisely to their wishes. They demand that we adjust our language — adjust our perception of reality itself — to meld with their delusions. "Here is the script you must follow," announces the man who refuses to even follow his own biology.~ Matt Walsh A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn’t become right and evil doesn’t become good just because it’s accepted by a majority. ~ Booker T.
