Liberty Quotes - Daily Email History

"Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses. ...
Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy."

~ Big Brother  

"In almost every act of our lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business or in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind."

~ Edward L. Bernays  

"As long as the law may be diverted from its true purpose -- that it may violate property instead of protecting it -- then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder. Political questions will always be prejudicial, dominant, and all-absorbing. There will be fighting to gain access to the legislature as well as fighting within it."

~ Frederic Bastiat  

"Sadly today, much of the political Left has become a hate group. As a hate group, they truly believe they alone have the unique right to censor others, to defame others, even to violently attack and murder others whose speech they don’t like. This is now evident everywhere throughout Leftist culture, including in Hollywood and the Oscars. With Google clearly being run by Leftists, and Facebook run by Leftists, and most of the internet gatekeepers dominated by intolerant Leftists, the shocking realization is that none of us are safe from the hatred, intolerance and censorship of the techno-liberals who tell themselves “the ends justify the means” to silence Trump supporters and defame those who support Trump."

~ Mike Adams  

"Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men."

~ Mortimer Adler  

"Appropriated to justice, to security, to reason, to restraint;
where there is no respect of persons;
where will is nothing and power is nothing and numbers are nothing,
and all are equal and all secure before the law."

~ Rufus Choate  

"I would rather starve and rot
and keep the privilege of speaking
the truth as I see it,
than of holding all the offices
that capital has to give
from the presidency down."

~ Henry Brooks Adams  

"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction."

~ Cesare Beccaria  

"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works."

~ Frederic Bastiat  

"The possession of unlimited power will make a despot of almost any man.
There is a possible Nero in the gentlest human creature that walks."

~ Thomas Bailey Aldrich  

"Those who have been intoxicated with power... can never willingly abandon it."

~ Edmund Burke  

"Usurpation, the exercise of power not granted, is not legitimized by repetition."

~ Raoul Berger  

"Do not count your chickens before they are hatched."

~ Aesop  

"Illegitimati non carborundum.
(Don't let the bastards grind you down.)"

~ General Joseph W. Stilwell  

"The mild voice of reason, pleading the cause of an enlarged and permanent interest, is but too often drowned, before public bodies as well as individuals, by the clamors of an impatient avidity for immediate and immoderate gain."

~ James Madison
