"[Liberal-democracies with a Bill of Rights to stop the voting majority from exploiting any minority; Civil war, conflict, riots, etc:] Violent resistance against the power of the state is the last resort of the minority in its effort to break loose from the oppression of the majority. ... The citizen must not be so narrowly circumscribed in his activities that, if he thinks differently from those in power, his only choice is either to perish or to destroy the machinery of state." - Ludwig von Mises
(1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher. Source: Liberalism. The Classical Tradition (1927), Fourth American Edition (Irvington-on-Hudson: Foundation for Economic Education, 1996), p. 59.

"[Individual freedom and resistance to authority:]
The spirit of resistance to government
is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it to be always kept alive.
It will often be exercised when wrong
but better so than not to be exercised at all.
I like a little rebellion now and then.
It is like a storm in the atmosphere." - Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President. Source: Letter to Abigail Adams, 22 February 1787.

"[Ethics and morality; equal reciprocity; 'The Golden Rule of treating others as you'd like to be treated'; Individual freedom and personal responsibility; social contract - democracy modified by a bill of rights that even a majority cannot morally and ethically deny any minority - even a minority of a single individual:] Every man, and every body of men on earth, possesses the right of self-government. They receive it with their being from the hand of nature. Individuals exercise it by their single will; collections of men by that of their majority; for the law of the majority is the natural law of every society of men." - Thomas Jefferson

"[Morality and ethics; equal reciprocity; 'The Golden Rule of treating others as you'd like to be treated'; freedom from force and fraud; voluntary-ism; libertarian-ism; race-ethnicity-creed equality; religious tolerance; 'absolute' individualism:] I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.

"[Morality and ethics; individual freedom and personal responsibility; freedom from force and fraud; informed choice:] Freedom of choice is a universal principle to which there should be no exceptions..." - Mikhail Gorbachev
He was general secretary of the Soviet Union Communist Party from 1985–1991. He made this statement, on 7 December 1988, in a speech to UN General Assembly. It marked the transition of the USSR to non-Communist state and a thaw in Cold War tensions. He was also the first democratically elected President in 1990.
He played a key role in dismantling the Communist grip on power in both the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. His aspirations for democracy and reform opened up the way for the end of the Cold War and the bringing down of the Berlin Wall. He was removed from Presidential office in 1991, during a failed coup attempt. Since leaving office, Gorbachev has worked tirelessly promoting new efforts at social justice and concern for the environment through his own organization, the Green Cross.
Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1990.

"[Morality and ethics; freedom from force and fraud - including freedom from deception, dishonesty, inconsistency, inauthenticity and hypocrisy; propaganda: In the ultimate choice between life and death, freedom and slavery as in existential War can be rationally argued will become necessarily immoral, where 'it doesn't matter what is right, only who is left', and therefore 'might is right' - Self-Defense and Martial Arts; Conflict and War: strategies - superior force and deception:] To win, we must endeavour to be the stronger of the two at the point of impact. Our only hope of this lies in making our own choice of operations, not in waiting passively for whatever the enemy chooses for us." - Alfred von Schlieffen
(1833 – 1913), Alfred Graf von Schlieffen, generally called Count Schlieffen, was a German field marshal and strategist who served as chief of the Imperial German General Staff from 1891 to 1906. (Regarding personal names: Graf was a German title of nobility before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Count. Before the August 1919 abolition of German nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke). Titles and all dependent parts of surnames are ignored in alphabetical sorting. The feminine form is Gräfin.)

British author. This quote is attributed to him. Quoteinvestigator.com believes that this saying was introduced by Richard Grenier who was attempting to provide a pithy representation of an idea he ascribed to George Orwell. Later writers and speakers turned his phrase into a quotation and directly attached it to Orwell. Over time variants were constructed with modified phrasing.

"[Morality and ethics; freedom from force and fraud; reciprocity - equality - ie 'what's good for the goose (one), is good for the gander (other)'; ends versus means - good, moral ends do not justify bad, immoral means:] In any age, the so-called progressives treat politics as their religion. Their holy mission is to use the coercive power of the State to remake man and society in their own image, according to an abstract ideal of perfection. Whatever means they use are therefore justified because, by definition, they are a virtuous people pursing a deific end. They are willing to use any means necessary to gain momentary advantage in achieving their end, regardless of collateral consequences and the systemic implications. They never ask whether the actions they take could be justified as a general rule of conduct, equally applicable to all sides. [The latter being the test of morality that philosopher Immanuel Kant called the Categorical Imperative, known as the Formula of Universal Law (FUL), which is generally thought to demand that to be moral one should act only on maxims that one can will as universal laws for equal treatment and behavior for all that creates a world you'd want to live in and without this generating a contradiction.]" - William Barr

Just such a title, by his sword, has an unjust conqueror, who forces me into submission. The injury and the crime is equal, whether committed by the wearer of a crown, or some petty villain. The title of the offender, and the number of his followers, make no difference in the offence, unless it be to aggravate it. The only difference is, great robbers punish little ones, to keep them in their obedience; but the great ones are rewarded with laurels and triumphs, because they are too big for the weak hands of justice in this world, and have the power in their own possession, which should punish offenders.

"[Morality and ethics; the Golden Rule of treating others as you'd like to be treated, which is found in some form in all major religions and is consistent with Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy and its Categorical Imperative in the moral realm, which he formulated in two ways - 'Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law' and 'So act as to treat humanity, whether in your own person or in another, always as an end and never as only a means.'] This is the sum of all true righteousness: deal with others as thou wouldst thyself be dealt by.

"[Morality and ethics; the Golden Rule of treating others as you'd like to be treated, which is found in some form in all major religions and is consistent with Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy and its Categorical Imperative in the moral realm, which he formulated in two ways - 'Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law' and 'So act as to treat humanity, whether in your own person or in another, always as an end and never as only a means!'] This is the sum of all true righteousness: deal with others as thou wouldst thyself be dealt by. Do nothing to thy neighbor which thou wouldst not have him do to thee hereafter." - Hindu philosophy

"[Morality and ethics; Empathy, sympathy, compassion; 'The Golden Rule of treating others as you'd like to be treated'; 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' - including private property:] I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but like everybody else, it must be in my own way. [The best way that this can be achieved for everybody is for each individual to have as much power as possible to make their own decisions as they best understand their own needs and desires and their timing. Therefore the need and morality to give each adult individual the power, freedom and responsibility to make their own informed choices for themselves and so enact the libertarian philosophical principle of 'live and let live' so long as not hurting others and all are free from force and fraud. This would best be explicitly expressed in a social contract like a constitution.]" - Jane Austen
Quote from the character Elinor Dashwood in her book, 'Sense and Sensibility', Chapter XVII.
