One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when the fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.~ H. L. MenckenThe tyranny of the many would be when one body takes over the rights of others, and then exercises its power to change the laws in its favor.~ Voltaire Jan 19, 2016Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns—or dollars. Take your choice -- there is no other -- and your time is running out.~ Ayn RandExperience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent.

Liberalism undermines the spirit of self-help and individual responsibility. For liberals in academia, the fact that black college students earn lower grades and have a higher dropout rate than any group besides reservation Indians means that blacks remain stymied and victimized by white racism. Thus, their push for affirmative action and other race-based programs is to assuage their guilt and shame for America’s past by having people around with black skin color. The heck with the human being inside that skin.~ Walter E. Williams Jan 15, 2016Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive.~ Henry Steele CommagerThe whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.~ H. L. MenckenPerhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.~ James Madison Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
