"Great Quotes" from great people...

____________________________________________________________________
“A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.” — Barry Goldwater
____________________________________________________________________
“Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature … If the next centennial does not find us a great nation…it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.” — James Garfield in 1877
____________________________________________________________________
“The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which….pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.” — British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941
____________________________________________________________________
“Find out just what the people will submit to and you will have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” — Frederick Douglas
____________________________________________________________________
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do.” — Edward Everett Hale
____________________________________________________________________
“...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed…so long as our manners and principles remain sound, there is no danger.” — Patrick Henry
____________________________________________________________________
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6
____________________________________________________________________
“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen….At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually runs the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.” — New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922

____________________________________________________________________
“I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.” — H. L. Mencken
____________________________________________________________________
“It behoves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.” — Thomas Jefferson
____________________________________________________________________
“Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.” — John Adams
____________________________________________________________________
“ ... No “terrorist” gene is known to exist or is likely to be found… Surely the(y), and their supporters were afflicted by something that caused their metamorphosis from normal human beings capable of gentleness and affection into desperate, maddened, fiends with nothing but murder in their hearts and minds. What was that? Simple logic says that we must go to the roots of terror. Only a fool can believe that the services of a suicidal terrorist can be purchased, or that they can be bred at will anywhere.” – Ouch Borith: Permanent Representative Of The Kingdom Of Cambodia To The UN, 10/03/2001
____________________________________________________________________
“The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no such duty [to submit his books and papers for an examination] to the State, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His rights are such as existed by the law of the land [Common Law] long antecedent to the organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the Constitution. Among his rights are a refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity of himself and his property from arrest or seizure except under a warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights.” — U.S. Supreme Court, Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 at 47 (1905).
____________________________________________________________________
“When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.” — William Blake
____________________________________________________________________
“To preserve their [the people’s] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.” — Thomas Jefferson
____________________________________________________________________
“It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.” — John Steinbeck
____________________________________________________________________
“If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters; you finally hand over your brothers.” — Albert Camus
____________________________________________________________________
“The ultimate error is the refusal to look evil in the face.” — Rollo May
____________________________________________________________________
“Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.” — Demosthenes
____________________________________________________________________
“In a country well governed poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed wealth is something to be ashamed of.” — Confucius
____________________________________________________________________
“The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and monied corporations, and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling and riding over the plundered plowman and the beggar…” — Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

Tara, I like it.

Here's one for ya...

Know your strongest quality. Know your pre-eminent gift; cultivate that and you will assist the rest. Every one would have excelled in something if he had known his strong point. Notice in what quality you surpass, and take charge of that. In some people judgment excels, in others valor. Most do violence to their natural aptitude, and thus attain superiority in nothing. Time enlightens us too late of what first flattered the passions.

“Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.” Albert Einstein

Good stuff hollywood

try this

"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals — a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like Wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces." — The Kybalion.

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions... Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of CONSPIRING with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
— David Rockefeller, Memoirs (2002 autobiography)

"The demagogue rules the mob. Gold rules the demagogue. And the Jew owns the gold." - Arnold Leese


H. L. Mencken, defined a demagogue as "one who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots."

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free and like to brag about it.

Happy is he who has the pure truth in him. He will regret no sacrifice that keeps it." ~Faust

Comment by DTOM on March 8, 2012 at 5:02am

Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws--always for _other_ fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because _not one_ of those people said: Please pass this so that I won't be able to so something I know I should stop. Nyet, tovarishchee, was _always_ something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them for their own good --not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it. - Robert A Heinlein, 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress'
