Quotes

In so far as religion is gone, reason is going. For they are both of the same primary and authoritative kind. They are both methods of proof which cannot themselves be proved.

G. K. Chesterton

Untouched by the breath of God, unrestricted by human conscience, both capitalism and socialism are repulsive.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

A fanatic is a man that does what he thinks the Lord would do if he knew the facts in this case.

Finley Peter Dunne

I’m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.

Steve Jobs

No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.

Frederick Douglass

I often say after eight years in Washington, I longed for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.

Defending the West is made more difficult by the fact that so many Europeans harbor an extreme anti-Americanism. Many do not accept that the United States is a part of the same Western civilization, and that it stands or falls together with Europe in the face of a new totalitarian threat.

Ibn Warraq

For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.

Holy Bible

When a legislature undertakes to proscribe the exercise of a citizen’s constitutional right to free speech, it acts lawlessly; and the citizen can take matters in his own hands and proceed on the basis that such a law is no law at all.

William O. Douglas

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

George Washington

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.

Thomas à Kempis

William O. Douglas

I believe that I’ve made good judgments in the past, and I think I’ve made good judgments in the future.
