"Subsidies entail politicians’ taking the citizen’s
paycheck and then using it to buy his submission." |
"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder." |

"In 1950, the average family of four
paid 2% of its earnings to federal taxes.
Today it pays 24%." |
"Gold is not neccesary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a
solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above
the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That's
the bastion of money." |
"Capital must protect itself in every way ...Debts must be collected
and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a
process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be
more tractable and more easily governed by the STRONG ARM OF THE LAW
(police) applied by the central power of leading financiers. People
without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known
among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of
capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them
to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance
to us except as TEACHERS OF THE COMMON HERD." |
"There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel." |

"When I was a boy I was told
that anybody could become President;
I'm beginning to believe it." |
"I could think of no worse example for nations abroad, who for the first
time were trying to put free electoral procedures into effect, than that
of the United States wrangling over the results of our presidential
election, and even suggesting that the presidency itself could be stolen
by thievery at the ballot box." |
"I don't care who does the electing,
so long as I get to do the nominating." |

"We stand today at a crossroads:
One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness.
The other leads to total extinction.
Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice." |
"Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason." |
"The devil’s best trick is to persuade you that he doesn’t exist!" |

"No cause is left but the most ancient of all,
the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history
has determined the very existence of politics,
the cause of freedom versus tyranny." |
"Freedom has cost too much blood and agony
to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric." |
"We are discreet sheep;
we wait to see how the drove is going,
and then go with the drove." |
