Notable Quotable 56
Liberty is traditional and conservative; it remembers its legends and its heroes. But tyranny is always young and seemingly innocent, and asks us to forget the past.
- G.K. Chesterton
It the truth shall kill them, let them die.
- Immanuel Kant
Self sufficiency is the greatest of all wealth.
- Epicurtus
At the outset the universe appears packed with will, intelligence, life and positive qualities; every tree is a nymph and every planet a god. Man himself is akin to the universe. The advance of knowledge gradually empties this rich and genial universe: first of its gods, then of its colors, smells, sounds and tastes, finally solidity itself.… As these items are taken from the world, they are transferred to the subjective side of the account: classified as our sensations, thoughts, images or emotions. The Subject becomes gorged, inflated, at the expense of the Object. But the matter does not rest there. The same method which has emptied the world now proceeds to empty ourselves.
- C.S. Lewis
The paralysis of potential is essential to the manufacturing of victims.
- Stefan Molyneux
A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death.
A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society.
- Ludwig von Mises
Even patience has its limits.
- Buddha
If only there were evil people insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being, and who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not who is right, but what is right, that is important.
- Thomas Huxley
The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.
- Mark Twain
