Quotes

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope.

Winston Churchill

The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom.

William O. Douglas

Behold, this child [Jesus] is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

Holy Bible

I’ve had a flawless campaign. You’ll be writing books about this campaign.

Donald Trump

Besides, it is a truth confirmed by the unerring experience of ages, that every man, and every body of men, invested with power, are ever disposed to increase it, and to acquire a superiority over everything that stands in their way.

Robert Yates

I can be presidential, but if I was presidential . . . [only] about twenty percent of you would be here because it would be boring as hell.

Donald Trump

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. . . . We have an obligation to call this what it is: the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

George W. Bush

You don’t have real diversity when you have a group of people who look different and think alike.

Steve Jobs

For the things we have to learn before we can do, we learn by doing.

Aristotle

The transient passions and the interests of an hour, or the chance of circumstances, may have created the external forms of independence; but the despotic tendency which has been repelled will, sooner or later, inevitably reappear on the surface.

Alexis de Tocqueville

It has taken since time immemorial for us to organize ourselves . . . into the functional hierarchies that both specify our perceptions and actions, and define our interactions with the natural and social world. Profound gratitude for that gift is the only proper response.

Jordan Peterson

Alexis de Tocqueville

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

U.S. Constitution

The disappearance of nations would impoverish us no less than if all peoples were made alike, with one character, one face.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

As evil men feel their guilt more in the presence of an innocent babe than in the companionship of those who are wicked like themselves, so he who loves God is the most deeply burdened with the sense of his own unworthiness.

Fulton Sheen

I . . . am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood.

John Brown

You can debate the morality of viewing profits as the top priority in business, but you can’t argue that it doesn’t work. At most, you can argue that some companies take it too far. But that is the risk of any tool.

Scott Adams

There are only two kinds of politicians—those who have stopped lying and those who are still alive.

Thomas Sowell

No person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
