	"&quot;A society will remain as free or as enslaved as the conscious dispositions of individuals determine it shall be. Just as the roots of oppression are found in passivity, the foundations of our liberty reside in highly energized and focused minds that insist upon their independence.

Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.&quot;<br>&quot;There is one difference,&quot; I pointed out. &quot;In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.&quot;<br>&quot;Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.

	"&quot;Government has lost its ability to ever blindside me again. I no longer read the news and believe the written pages. I no longer assume the guilt of those I see arrested.

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.&quot;<br>Justice Louis Brandeis",
	"&quot;The ideal government of all reflective men, from Aristotle onward, is one which lets the individual alone - one which barely escapes being no government at all.&quot;<br>H.L. Mencken",
	"&quot;Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.&quot;<br>Albert Einstein",

	"&quot;The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.&quot;<br>Thomas Jefferson",
	"&quot;... so long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.&quot;<br>Voltairine de Cleyre",
	"&quot;The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.&quot;<br>H. L. Mencken",
	"&quot;Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either rods or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.&quot;<br>Frederick Douglass",

	"&quot;As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents more and more closely the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.&quot;<br>-H.L. Mencken",
	"&quot;Most people are <i>other</i> people.  Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.&quot;<br>Oscar Wilde",
	"&quot;The like can be maintained only for such time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state.&quot;<br>-Joseph Goebbels",
	"&quot;The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself ... Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable.&quot;<br>-H.L.

	"&quot;If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.&quot;<br>Samuel Adams",
	"&quot;If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means - to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal - would bring terrible retributions.&quot;<br>Justice Louis Brandeis, dissenting, Olmstead et al. v. United States, 277 U.S. 485 (1928)",

	"&quot;The advancement of freedom is not a matter of who wields political power over creative actions; rather, it depends upon the disassembling of such power.&quot;<br>Leonard E. Read",
	"&quot;Government is not reason, it is not eloquence - it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.&quot;<br>George Washington",

	"&quot;... it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds ...&quot;<br>Samuel Adams",
	"&quot;It doesn't seem to me that people who are serious about freedom can indulge themselves too much longer in the fantasy that freedom can be advanced through politics without the risk of doing themselves substantial hurt. Politics are the dynamic of government, government is theft and slavery, and we can achieve freedom through political action like we can achieve celibacy through rape.&quot;<br>Victor Milan",
	"&quot;Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.&quot;<br>H.L. Mencken",
	"&quot;Liberty embraces freedom from duress; freedom from government interference; freedom of locomotion; liberty embraces the Right of self-defence against unlawful violence; right to acquire and enjoy property; Right to acquire useful knowledge; the Right to earn livelihood in any lawful calling; right to engage in a lawful business; Right to determine the price of one's labor; The Right to freely buy and sell as others may; right to live and work where one will.

	"&quot;Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.&quot;<br>Benjamin Franklin",

	"&quot;Free people, remember this maxim: we may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.&quot;<br>Jean Jacques Rousseau",
	"&quot;Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed persons can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.&quot;<br>Margaret Mead",
	"&quot;The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.&quot;<br>H.L. Mencken",
	"&quot;Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealous will instantly inspire the inclination to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive ....&quot;<br>Noah Webster",
	"&quot;There was a time when we [the U.S.] had completely unrestricted immigration, when anybody could come to these shores and the motto on the Statue of Liberty had some real meaning. This was a country of hope and of promise for immigrants and their children, and as many as a million immigrants a year came in 1906 and '07 and '08. By 1914, roughly a third of the population was foreign-born or the immediate descendants of foreign-born ... The fact that year after year hundreds of thousands of people left the countries of Europe to come to this country was persuasive evidence that they were coming to improve their lot, not to worsen it.&quot;<br>Milton Friedman",

	"&quot;I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.&quot;<br>Thomas Jefferson",
	"&quot;I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.&quot;<br>Jack London",
	"&quot;The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.&quot;<br>John Stuart Mill",
	"&quot;I shall exert every faculty I possess in aiding to prevent the Constitution from being nullified, destroyed, or impaired; and even though I should see it fail, I will still, with a voice feeble, perhaps, but earnest as ever issued from human lips, and with extinguish, call on the people to come to its rescue.&quot;<br>Daniel Webster",
	"&quot;The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks ... It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.&quot;<br>Samuel Adams",
	"&quot;Of the tyrant, spies and informers are the principal instruments. War is his favorite occupation, for the sake of engrossing the attention of the people, and making himself necessary to them as their leader.&quot;<br>Aristotle",
	"&quot;The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.&quot;<br>James Madison",
	"&quot;Freedom is not a luxury for a few wealthy nations; as many of our liberal pundits try to tell us, but a necessity for the poor and hungry.&quot;<br>Edward P. Coleson",
	"&quot;Once an individual who would advance liberty has settled on self-perfection as the correct method, the first fact to bear in mind is that ours in not a numbers problem. Were it necessary to bring a majority into a comprehension of the libertarian philosophy, the cause of liberty would be utterly hopeless. Every significant movement in history has been led by one or just a few individuals with a small minority of energetic supporters.&quot;<br>Leonard E. Read",
	"&quot;Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it, a tone of mind which will gradually win influence over the collective one, and in the end determine its character. It is only an ethical movement which can rescue us from the slough of barbarism, and the ethical comes into existence only in individuals.&quot;<br>Albert Schweitzer",
	"&quot;The end of the law is, not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.&quot;<br>John Locke",
	"&quot;When Benjamin Franklin first went to Paris as envoy from the newly formed Confederacy of American States, crowds lined the street to see him ride to and from his lodgings. This was not because he represented an upstart little nation fighting for its independence. Instead, it was because he was already world famous as a scholar, scientist, and philosopher. Of formal schooling he had almost none, but even by today's standards, he was a highly educated man.&quot;<br>V. Orval Watts",
	"&quot;The great thing to remember is that the mind of man cannot be enlightened permanently by merely teaching him to reject some particular set of superstitions. There is an infinite supply of other superstitions always at hand; and the mind that desires such things - that is, the mind that has not trained itself to the hard discipline of reasonableness and honesty, will as soon as its devils are cast out, proceed to fill itself with their relations.&quot;<br>Gilbert Murray",
	"&quot;Black leaders and white liberals have kept black Americans so focused on superficial indications of racism, that we overlook the most pernicious and ruinous use of race, that is, as an economic weapon - not just to deter one's employment in companies created by others, but to hamper the ability to create employment for oneself.&quot;<br>Elizabeth Wright",

	"&quot;The tyrant, who in order to hold his power, suppresses every superiority, does away with good men, forbids education and light, controls every movement of the citizens and, keeping them under a perpetual servitude, wants them to grow accustomed to baseness and cowardice, has his spies everywhere to listen to what is said in the meetings, and spreads dissension and calumny among the citizens and impoverishes them, is obliged to make war in order to keep his subjects occupied and impose on them permanent need of a chief.&quot;<br>Aristotle",
	"&quot;I am for relying, for internal defense, on our militia solely, till actual invasion, and for such naval force only as may protect our coasts and harbors from such depredations as we have experienced; and not for a standing army in time of peace, which may overawe the public sentiment; not for a navy, which, by its own expenses and the eternal wars in which it will implicate us, will grind us with public burdens, and sink us under them.

	"&quot;Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

	"&quot;The person who used political power to force others to conform to his ideas seems inevitably to become corrupted by the power he holds.

	"&quot;As one advances in life, one realizes more and more that the majority of men - and of women - are incapable of any other effort than that strictly imposed on them as a reaction to external compulsion. And for that reason, the few individuals we have come across who are capable of a spontaneous and joyous effort stand out isolated, monumentalized, so to speak, in our experience. These are the select men, the nobles, the only ones who are active and not merely reactive, for whom life is a perpetual striving, an incessant course of training.&quot;<br>Jose Ortega y Gasset",
	"Once Confucius was walking on the mountains and he came across a woman weeping by a grave. He asked the woman what her sorrow was, and she replied, &quot;We are a family of hunters. My father was eaten by a tiger. My husband was bitten by a tiger and died. And now my only son!&quot; &quot;Why don't you move down and live in the valley? Why do you continue to live up here?&quot; asked Confucius. And the woman replied, &quot;But sir, there are no tax collectors here!&quot; Confucius added to his disciples, &quot;You see, a bad government is more to be feared than tigers.&quot;<br>Lin Yutang",
	"&quot;Government ought to be as much open to improvement as anything which appertains to man, instead of which it has been monopolized from age to age, by the most ignorant and vicious of the human race. Need we any other proof of their wretched management, than the excess of debts and taxes with which every nation groans, and the quarrels into which they have precipitated the world?&quot;<br>Thomas Paine",
        "&quot;Television is altering the meaning of 'being informed' by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation� Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information - misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information - information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from knowing.&quot; <br> - Neil Postman",

It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.<br><br>There is also another way in which Prohibition, in my opinion, undermines the authority of the government. The public house is a place which gives people the opportunity to exchange views and ideas on public affairs. As far as I can see, such an opportunity is lacking in this country, the result being that the Press, which is mostly controlled by vested interests, has an excessive influence on public opinion.&quot;<br>-Albert Einstein",   "&quot;Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.&quot;<br>Albert Einstein",
   "&quot;Tis nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.&quot;<br>--William Shakespeare",

   "&quot;It would seem, then, that to get rid of the subjective distinction between 'me' and 'my experience'- through seeing that my idea of myself is not myself- is to discover the actual relationship between myself and the 'outside' world.
