The whole principle is wrong. It’s like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak. |
Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost. |
Limiting the freedom of news ‘just a little bit’ is in the same category within the classic example ‘a little bit pregnant’. |
Love your country, but never trust its government. |
Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. |
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. |
Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny. |
The human race divides itself politically into those who want to be controlled, and those who have no such desire. |
In a society in which it is a moral offense to be different from your neighbor your only escape is to never let them find out. |
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. |
The two highest achievements of the human mind are the twin concepts of "loyalty" and "duty". Whenever these twin concepts fall into disrepute, get out of there fast! You may possibly save yourself, but it is too late to save that society. It is doomed. |
Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. |
