In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.~ Jimmy Carter By Liberty I understand the Power which every Man has over his own Actions, and his Right to enjoy the Fruits of his Labour, Art, and Industry, as far as by it he hurts not the Society, or any Members of it, by taking from any Member, or by hindering him from enjoying what he himself enjoys. The Fruits of a Man's honest Industry are the just Rewards of it, ascertained to him by natural and eternal Equity, as is his Title to use them in the Manner which he thinks fit: And thus, with the above Limitations, every Man is sole Lord and Arbitrer of his own private Actions and Property.~ Cato It's about food. It’s about your home. It’s about your life. The government is worried about all of the above. All I’m saying is you should be worried they’re worried. Here’s why: They’re telling you that you can’t take care of yourself. You can’t be trusted with what you put in your mouth or what you sign on the mortgage dotted line. So they’ll tell you what to put in your mouth and they’ll save you from what you signed on that dotted line. Does anyone see a trend here? Personal responsibility has now become government responsibility.~ Neil Cavuto Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man's nose begins. ~ Zechariah Chafee, Jr. Now the 21st century approaches and with it the inevitability of change. We must wonder if the American people will find renewal and rejuvenation within themselves, will discover again their capacity for innovation and adaptation. If not, alas, the nation's future will be shaped by sightless forces of history over which Americans will have no control.~ John Chancellor No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.~ Edwin Hubbel Chapin At the bottom of a good deal of bravery... lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they cannot face public opinion.~ E. H. Chapin Attack another’s rights and you destroy your own.~ John Jay Chapman Our duty, as men and women is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton When men have come to the edge of a precipice, it is the lover of life who has the spirit to leap backwards, and only the pessimist who continues to believe in progress.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton He is a very shallow critic who cannot see an eternal rebel in the heart of a conservative.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton But there is another strong objection which I, one of the laziest of all the children of Adam, have against the Leisure State. Those who think it could be done argue that a vast machinery using electricity, water-power, petrol, and so on, might reduce the work imposed on each of us to a minimum. It might, but it would also reduce our control to a minimum. We should ourselves become parts of a machine, even if the machine only used those parts once a week. The machine would be our master, for the machine would produce our food, and most of us could have no notion of how it was really being produced.~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.~ Lydia M. Child Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own.~ Chinese Proverb Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one.~ Chinese Proverb 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. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'~ Sir Winston Churchill I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.~ Sir Winston Churchill Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.~ Sir Winston Churchill Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. 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 Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
