A centralised democracy may be as tyrannical as an absolute monarch; and if the vigour of the nation is to continue unimpaired, each individual, each family, each district, must preserve as far as possible its independence, its self-completeness, its powers and its privilege to manage its own affairs and think its own thoughts.~ James Anthony Froude The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent.~ John Kenneth Galbraith The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it.~ John Kenneth Galbraith All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.~ Galileo Galilei In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.~ Galileo Galilei I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.~ Galileo Galilei Truth never damages a cause that is just.~ Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.~ Mahatma Mohandas K.

But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.~ Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi I love agitation and investigation and glory in defending unpopular truth against popular error.~ James A. Garfield Liberty is no negation. It is a substantive, tangible reality.~ James A. Garfield If the aborigine drafted an IQ test, all of Western civilization would presumably flunk it.~ Stanley Garn If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and as continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries.~ Carl Friedrich Gauss Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.~ Jean Genet He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it.~ Henry George He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it.~ Henry George Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty.~ Anne Louise Germaine de Stael Whenever the offence inspires less horror than the punishment, the rigour of penal law is obliged to give way to the common feelings of mankind.~ Edward Gibbon He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth or duty.~ Khalil Gibran Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
