Quotes

Do not pretend you are happy with something if you are not, and if a reasonable solution might, in principle, be negotiated. Have the damn fight.

Jordan Peterson

If the Constitution, intelligently and reasonably construed, stands in the way of desirable legislation, the blame must rest upon that instrument, and not upon the court for enforcing it according to its terms. The remedy in that situation—and the only true remedy—is to amend the Constitution.

George Sutherland

Original art is never created in the safe middle ground, but always at the edge.

Salman Rushdie

Moderation in all things.

Terence

Corporations (and other associations) do not have liberty and property rights because they are ‘people,’ but because they are created, managed, and controlled by people.

Scott Bradford

The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented. It’s that socialism has been faithfully implemented.

Donald Trump

The right of a nation to kill a tyrant, in cases of necessity, can no more be doubted, than to hang a robber, or kill a flea. But killing one tyrant only makes way for worse, unless the people have sense, spirit, and honesty enough to establish and support a constitution guarded at all points against the tyranny of the one, the few, and the many.

John Adams

[Human beings] know the Law of Nature; they break it. These two facts are the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in.

C. S. Lewis

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker; yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

Peter the Apostle

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable. . . .

H. L. Mencken

We may even say that man will begin to recover the moment he takes art as seriously as physics, chemistry, or money.

Ernst Levy

Let the pulpit resound with the doctrines and sentiments of religious liberty.

John Adams

Prices determined in a free market are a form of free speech.

Milton Friedman

No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.

Abraham Lincoln

The heart of the liberal philosophy is a belief in the dignity of the individual, in his freedom to make the most of his capacities and opportunities according to his own lights, subject only to the proviso that he not interfere with the freedom of other individuals to do the same.

Milton Friedman

Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth.

Dave Barry

The time is always right to do what’s right.

Martin Luther King Jr.

All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called ‘facts.’ They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

[Man] can survive in only one of two ways—by the independent work of his own mind or as a parasite fed by the minds of others. The creator originates. The parasite borrows.

Ayn Rand

There are people in government who don’t want other people to know what they know. It’s just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I’ll show you a loser.
