"The objector and the rebel
who raises his voice against
what he believes to be
the injustice of the present
and the wrongs of the past
is the one who hunches the world along." |
"As long as people will accept crap,
it will be financially profitable to dispense it." |

"How did it happen? How did our national government grow from a servant with sharply limited powers into a master with virtually unlimited power? In part, we were swindled. There are occasions when we have elevated men and political parties to power that promised to restore limited government and then proceeded, after their election, to expand the activities of government. But let us be honest with ourselves. Broken promises are not the major causes of our trouble. Kept promises are. All too often we have put men in office who have suggested spending a little more on this, a little more on that, who have proposed a new welfare program, who have thought of another variety of 'security.' We have taken the bait, preferring to put off to another day the recapture of freedom and the restoration of our constitutional system. We have gone the way of many a democratic society that has lost its freedom by persuading itself that if 'the people' rule, all is well." |
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds;
it will be seen that they go mad in herds,
while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one." |

"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble." |
"To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." |
"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves - such an ethical basis I call more proper for a herd of swine. The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty." |

"Freedom, morality, and the human dignity
of the individual consists precisely in this;
that he does good not because he is forced to do so,
but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it." |
"It is up to you to decide whether or not
you're ready to be free, really free.
This pertains to your relationship
as well as your activities in the world.
You are limitless, if you choose that!
Your freedom comes from letting go.
Freedom means empowerment to be, do, go, feel,
whatever your heart tells you.
Only you have kept yourself from having this freedom out of some
misunderstanding of what your responsibilities really are.
Your responsibilities are to your Self.
Serve that truly, fully, and you serve All." |
"Don't try to be different. Just be good. To be good is different enough." |

"Integrity is the core of our character." |
"To believe in something,
and not to live it, is dishonest." |
"The ultimate measure of a man
is not where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." |
