It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in
it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at
it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of
justice and liberality.
George Washington
At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human
stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice
and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism, and proselytizing zeal on behalf of
religious or political idols.
Aldous Huxley
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit
atrocities.
Voltaire
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the
loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with
it.
Edward R. Murrow
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the
conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the
voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of
justice.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate
the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the
democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism--ownership of
government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private
power."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
We stand for the maintenance of private property... We shall
protect free enterprise as the most expedient, or rather the sole possible
economic order.
Adolf Hitler
If a baseball player slides into home plate and, right before
the umpire rules if he is safe or out, the player says to the umpire--'Here is
$1,000.' What would we call that? We would call that a
bribe. If a lawyer was arguing a case before a judge and said,
'Your Honor before you decide on the guilt or innocence of my client, here is
$1,000.' What would we call that? We would call that a bribe. But if an
industry lobbyist walks into the office of a key legislator and hands her or
him a check for a $1,000, we call that a campaign contribution. We
should call it a bribe.

A slave is he who cannot speak his
thoughts.
Euripides
Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are
not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long
habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of
being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of
custom...
Thomas Paine
