Men who are engaged in public life must necessarily aim at reducing opposition to a minimum, and one of the most obvious means to that end is by misrepresenting, discrediting or ruining their opponents.

Frederick Scott Oliver

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.

Frederic Bastiat

Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom

Friedrich August Hayek

She is said to be inclined to cough noisily when he goes on too long at the rostrum; but this is a traditional prerogative of the political wife, and rather more necessary in this instance than in most.

I don't know whose hand hung Hesperus in the sky, and fixed the Dog Star, and scattered the shining dust of Heaven, and fired the sun, and froze the darkness between the lonely worlds that spin in space

Gerald Kersh (1911-)

When we become aware that we do not have to escape our pains, but that we can mobilize them into a common search for life, those very pains are transformed from expressions of despair into signs of hope

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort

Sir Humphrey Davy (1778-1829)

Sir Humphrey Davy

Wart hogs should sue for libel. It is a terrible name and they are fine fellows [and] devoted family men and it is rare to see one by himself; the little woman and the kiddies are usually close at hand.

Ilka Chase (1903-1978)

Ilka Chase

Jack Valenti (1921-)

Jack Valenti

You don't decide to build a church because you have money in the bank. You build because God says this is what I should do. Faith is the supplier of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

Jim Bakker (1939-)

Jim Bakker

John Bunyan (1628-1688)

John Bunyan

Karen Carpenter (1950-1983)

Karen Carpenter

Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.

Margaret Mead (1901-1978)

Margaret Mead
