The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant making power to alter life in the United States such that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union.~ Rowan Gaither Consider also the willy-nilly growth of the Social Security number. When the numbers were created in 1935, they were supposed to be used for one thing only, to record individual workers’ payments into the Social Security system. Eight years later, Franklin Roosevelt decided all new federal record-keeping would be based on the numbers. In 1962, the IRS adopted them as taxpayer identification numbers. And after Congress permitted states to use the numbers for welfare payments and driver’s licenses in 1976, they mushroomed: food stamps, school lunches, federal loans, even blood donations required Social Security numbers. These days it’s almost impossible to open a bank account or hook up your telephone without one.~ Glenn Garvin The shocking possibility that dumb people don’t exist in sufficient numbers to warrant the millions of careers devoted to tending them will seem incredible to you. Yet that is my central proposition: the mass dumbness which justifies official schooling first had to be dreamed of; it isn’t real.~ John Taylor Gatto Who besides a degraded rabble would voluntarily present itself to be graded and classified like meat? No wonder school is compulsory.~ John Taylor Gatto You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?~ Khalil Gibran If government could create jobs and raise children, socialism would have worked.~ Gerald Gilder As socialists, we are opponents of the Jews, because we see, in the Hebrews, the incarnation of capitalism, of the misuse of the nation’s goods.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels To be a socialist is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels To be a socialist is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels National Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place. We lack traditions and ritual. One day soon National Socialism will be the religion of all Germans. My Party is my church, and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels During a war, news should be given out for instruction rather than information.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels We are not a charitable institution but a Party of revolutionary socialists.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels Lenin is the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between Communism and the Hitler faith is very slight.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels The money pigs of capitalist democracy… Money has made slaves of us… Money is the curse of mankind. It smothers the seed of everything great and good. Every penny is sticky with sweat and blood.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels What does anti-Semitism have to do with socialism? I would put the question this way: What does the Jew have to do with socialism? Socialism has to do with labor. When did one ever see him working instead of plundering, stealing and living from the sweat of others? As socialists we are opponents of the Jews because we see in the Hebrews the incarnation of capitalism.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels We are a workers’ party because we see in the coming battle between finance and labor the beginning and the end of the structure of the twentieth century. We are on the side of labor and against finance ... The value of labor under socialism will be determined by its value to the state, to the whole community. Labor means creating value, not haggling over things.~ Joseph Paul Goebbels I joined the party because I was a revolutionary, not because of any ideological nonsense.~ Hermann Goering I am what I have always been: the last Renaissance man, if I may be allowed to say so.~ Hermann Goering To subject an artist’s work to a litmus test of political probity – and to punish institutions that will not carry out the mandate of the state – is to traffic in the thought control that gave us Stalinism and Nazism…~ Richard Goldstein A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.~ Barry Goldwater Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
