Government...thus after the word ‘purchased’ the words ‘by the consent of the Legislature of the State’ (was added to the Enclave Clause).~ Elbridge Gerry The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.~ J. Paul Getty America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.~ Bobcat Goldthwait The Trilateralist Commission is international...(and)...is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateralist Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power - political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical.~ Barry Goldwater Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep. ~ Mikhail Gorbachev In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. ... This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.~ Alan Greenspan Gold still represents the ultimate form of payment in the world.~ Alan Greenspan As George Orwell pointed out, people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.~ Richard Grenier But as the plan of the convention aims only at a partial union or consolidation, the State governments would clearly retain all the rights of sovereignty which they before had, and which were not, by that act, EXCLUSIVELY delegated to the United States.~ Alexander Hamilton To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens the moment they put foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.~ Alexander Hamilton The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments. That their liberties, indeed, can be subverted by the federal head, is repugnant to every rule of political calculation.~ Alexander Hamilton But as the plan of the [Constitutional] convention aims only at a partial union or consolidation, the State governments would clearly retain all the rights of sovereignty which they before had, and which were not, by that act, EXCLUSIVELY delegated to the United States.~ Alexander Hamilton The attributes of sovereignty are now enjoyed by every state in the Union. ~ Alexander Hamilton Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence.~ Alexander Hamilton It may safely be received as an axiom in our political system, that the state governments will in all possible contingencies afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority.~ Alexander Hamilton If the Constitution is adopted the Union will be in fact and in theory an association of States of a Confederacy.~ Alexander Hamilton We may safely rely on the disposition of the State legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority.~ Alexander Hamilton Jurors should acquit, even against the judge’s instruction ... if exercising their judgment with discretion and honesty they have a clear conviction that the charge of the court is wrong.~ Andrew Hamilton I know, may it please your honour, the jury may do so; but I do likewise know they may do otherwise. I know they have the right, beyond all dispute, to determine both the law and the fact; and where they do not doubt the law, they ought to do so. This of leaving it to the judgment of the Court whether the words are libelous or not in effect renders juries useless (to say no worse) in many cases.~ Andrew Hamilton Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
