In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God. -Aeschylus
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. -Thomas Jefferson
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." - Ronald Reagan

The actions blamed on businessmen were caused, necessitated, and made possible only by government intervention in business. The evils, popularly ascribed to big industrialists, were not the result of an unregulated industry, but of government power over industry. Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. -Ayn Rand
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty. ~Ronald Reagan
Government is NOT reason; it is NOT eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. -George Washington
Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do I make this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles. -Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. -Abe Li...Expand for more

A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.
-Winston Churchill
Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.-Prov 4:5
You can't lift up the poor by pushing down the very people who create jobs for them. The rich will simplly move their wealth elsewhere, and the poor will be even poorer. -Abraham Lincoln
"The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict." -M.L.K.Jr".

"Let's face it. If you allow it, any unchecked government will steal your liberties. In times of peace, it enacts Nanny State legislation. In times of war, it sells its agenda as a bargain: a little liberty for a whole lot of perceived security. A government that can ignore the precepts and guarantees of the Constitution is a bad deal all around." Judge Andrew Napolitano
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life" - Winston Churchill
"To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men." --A.Lincoln

prove yourselves innocent and straightforward,
children of God beyond reproach in the midst of a twisted and depraved generation — among whom you shine like the stars of the sky. —Philippians 2:14–15
"Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased--not a reduced --flow of revenues to the federal government." - JFK
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy." --Winston Churchill
Liberalism is an extraordinarily deceptive, ruinous and cruel ideology. That's because liberalism comes, arms wide open, whispering sweet words of compassion and pity, even as it forcefully slams down a boot upon the neck of the people it's helping. -John Hawkins
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. ~ Abraham Lincoln".
