Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in their readiness to doubt. - H. L. Mencken
Every actual state is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well. - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced. - Henry David Thoreau
Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. - Sophocles. Do our leaders obey laws? If no, then why should we?
If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he… would be justified in silencing mankind. – John Stuart Mill. If something is majority, then it does not make it right. This is why democracies don't work. If 3 wolves and 1 sheep decide to vote on dinner, then the sheep will always lose. Majority of people in country are poor or middle-class; only a few are rich. So democracies bring into power the politician, who will steal from the rich and give to poor.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians. - Edward Langley
What can the government do to help?
Stop helping. Because government has no money; it can only steal from one person to give to another. Only one human being can help other human being.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." - Ronald Reagan
Strong as it looks at the outset, State-agency perpetually disappoints every one. Puny as are its first stages, private efforts daily achieve results that astound the world. - Herbert Spencer
A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. - Milton Friedman
There comes a time in the life of every human when he or she must decide to risk "his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor" on an outcome dubious. Those who fail the challenge are merely overgrown children, can never be anything else. - Robert Heinlein
The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. - Frederick Douglass
“Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils.” – John Stark
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. - H. L. Mencken. If you are proud of your government, then follow this logic:
- I would not have you handcuffed for anything that you did not agree to.
- Will you give me the same right that I give to you?
- I never agreed to income tax; why do you suppor a government that threatens to hurt me if I don't pay something that I never agreed to.
The only power tyrants have, is the power relinquished to them by their victims. - Étienne de la Boétie
The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. - William Hazlitt. Do you want liberty of thought/word/action for others as long as it doesn't hurt you?
Virtually no idea is too ridiculous to be accepted, even by very intelligent and highly educated people, if it provides a way for them to feel special and important. Some confuse that feeling with idealism. - Thomas Sowell. Demonitization was an idea from people far away from ground realities.
When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is men’s deadliest enemy. - Ayn Rand
It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks. It is legal and lawful to own a shotgun or a rifle. We believe in obeying the law. - Malcolm X
The wealth of the country, its capital, its credit, must be saved from the predatory poor as well as the predatory rich, but above all from the predatory politician. – James J. Hill
