Coldly it lies, too; and this lie creeps from its mouth: `I, the state, am the people.'... Everything about it is false; it bites with stolen teeth. ~ Friedrich NietzscheThe state remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men.~ H. L. MenckenIf Big Brother (of Orwell's 1984) comes to America, he will not be a fearsome, foreboding figure with a heart-chilling, omnipresent glare as in 1984. He will come with a smile on his face, a quip on his lips, a wave to the crowd, and a press that (a) dutifully reports the suppressive measures he is taking to save the nation from internal chaos and foreign threat; and (b) gingerly questions whether he will be able to succeed.~ Michael Parenti Jul 17, 2012Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.~ John Stuart MillAll men are created equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing the obtaining of happiness and safety.~ George MasonIf ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.

But it does mean that I acknowledge another one’s right to believe, and obey, his own conscience.~ Viktor Frankl Jul 13, 2012When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover that check, but when the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.~ Boston Federal Reserve BankThat is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money.~ Marriner Stoddard EcclesThe power to determine the quantity of money... is too important, too pervasive, to be exercised by a few people, however public-spirited, if there is any feasible alternative. There is no need for such arbitrary power... Any system which gives so much power and so much discretion to a few men, [so] that mistakes - excusable or not - can have such far reaching effects, is a bad system. It is a bad system to believers in freedom just because it gives a few men such power without any effective check by the body politic - this is the key political argument against an independent central bank.~ Milton Friedman Jul 12, 2012Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal -- that there is no human relation between master and slave.~ Leo Nikolaevich TolstoiIf Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.~ Andrew JacksonThe bold effort the present (central) bank had made to control the government ... are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.~ Andrew Jackson Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
