What ass first let loose that the suffrage is a high boon and voting a noble privilege?

- H. L Mencken

You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote — Who did not vote — who did not even leave the house on election day, have no responsibility for what these ‘people’ have done. (Or will do)

- George Carlin (Paraphrased)

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

- H. L. Mencken

He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals.

- Henry Miller

I have never voted in my life... I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it's certain they will win.

- Louis-Ferdinand Céline

Strike.Me

Buy Me a Coffee

Resist much, obey little.

- Walt Whitman

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

- Voltaire

When poverty declines, the need for government declines, which is why expecting government to solve poverty is like expecting a tobacco company to mount an aggressive anti-smoking campaign.

- Stefan Molyneux

Few policies are more calculated to destroy the existing basis of a free society than the debauching of its currency. And few tasks, if any, are more important to the champion of freedom than creation of a sound monetary system.

- Hans F. Sennholz

There are truths, that are beyond us, transcendent truths, about beauty, truth, honour, etc. There are truths that man knows exist, but they cannot be seen - they are immaterial, but no less real, to us.

It is only through the language of myth that we can speak of these truths.

- J. R. R. Tolkien
