Quotes

[In school] I encountered authority of a different kind than I had ever encountered before, and I did not like it. And they really almost got me. They came close to really beating any curiosity out of me.

Steve Jobs

History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

I had much rather be a real President for three years and a half than a figurehead for seven years and a half.

Teddy Roosevelt

But perhaps [the bricklayer] is not merely laying bricks. Maybe he is building a wall. And the wall is part of a building. And the building is a cathedral. And the purpose of the cathedral is the glorification of the Highest Good.

Jordan Peterson

The whole history of the world shows that legislation will generally be both unwise and ineffective unless undertaken after calm enquiry and with sober self-restraint.

Teddy Roosevelt

To speak in general terms, we may say that the Christian is to the world what the soul is to the body. As the soul is present in every part of the body, while remaining distinct from it, so Christians are found in all the cities of the world, but cannot be identified with the world.

Clement of Rome

Indiscriminate inclusion or indiscriminate exclusion are equally unthinking.

Peter Kreeft

A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Men more frequently require to be reminded than informed.

Samuel Johnson

I find it hard, as a liberal, to see any justification for graduated taxation solely to redistribute income. This seems a clear case of using coercion to take from some in order to give to others and thus to conflict head-on with individual freedom.

Milton Friedman

Encased in their provincialism and supported by Western intellectuals, Third World leaders blamed the West for the failures of their own cultures. Instead of asking themselves ‘What did we do wrong? How can we put it right?’ they asked ‘Who did that to us?’

Ibn Warraq

In every man’s writings, the character of the writer must lie recorded.

Thomas Carlyle

The fact that I want to fly to Albuquerque does not constitute probable cause for an invasive search.

Scott Bradford

Real power begins where secrecy begins.

Hannah Arendt

There are only two kinds of economists—those who predict the future and those who don’t have the gall.

Thomas Sowell

I had rather be a free citizen of the small republic of Massachusetts, than an oppressed subject of the great American empire.

Anonymous

It does not undo harm to acknowledge that we have done it; but it undoes us not to acknowledge it.

Mignon McLaughlin

Freedom engenders private animosities, but despotism gives birth to general indifference.

Alexis de Tocqueville

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Holy Bible

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

John Paul II
