Quotes

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.

Holy Bible

The tragedy in all of this is the simple fact that the average tax-paying American was not given an honest and genuine choice. The voter finds himself enduring one party long enough to witness a whole series of travesties and then switches to the other party thinking he will get a substantial reversal of policy. But he doesn’t.

W. Cleon Skousen

The method [of learning Japanese] recommended by experts is to be born as a Japanese baby and raised by a Japanese family, in Japan.

Dave Barry

Slavery . . . is . . . the most barbarous, unprovoked and unjustifiable war of one portion of its citizens against another portion.

John Brown

An unjust law is no law at all.

Augustine of Hippo

Do not follow the evil law! Do not live on in thoughtlessness! Do not follow false doctrine! Be not a friend of the world.

Cormac McCarthy

It is childlike thinking to insist in all cases that the people who cause problems are the only people who should solve them.

Scott Adams

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus [and] the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Carl Sagan

I can become quite angry and burning in anger, but I have never been bitter. Bitterness is a corrosive, terrible acid. It just eats you and makes you sick.

Maya Angelou

The steam engine, the multiple press, and the public school, that trio of the industrial revolution, have taken the power away from kings and given it to the people.

The most intolerant advocate is he who is trying to convince himself.

Ambrose Bierce

It cannot be absolutely or generally affirmed that the greatest danger of the present age is license or tyranny, anarchy or despotism. Both are equally to be feared. . . .

Alexis de Tocqueville

The compacts which are to embrace thirteen distinct States in a common bond of amity and union, must as necessarily be a compromise of as many dissimilar interests and inclinations. How can perfection spring from such materials?
