[Quote No.37256] Need Area: Friends > General
"The government consists of a gang of men [and women] exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant or pine for something they can't get, and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods." - H.L. Mencken

[Quote No.37259] Need Area: Friends > General
"Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn't first take from somebody else. Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor!" - Dr. Adrian Rogers

"A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought. [If it was among scientists then the world would still be considered flat and at the centre of the universe and among government politicians and bureaucrats then Keynesian economic stimulus would be continued until the country was bankrupt. Leadership in any sphere involves asking for opinions but when they are found to be wrong in the majority then the leaders job is to explain why things are not that way rather than to follow an uninformed majority!]" - Warren Buffett

[Quote No.37334] Need Area: Friends > General
"The most basic principle to being a free American [person] is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free." - Ron Paul

[Quote No.37335] Need Area: Friends > General
"Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons." - Ron Paul

[Quote No.37339] Need Area: Friends > General
"Ideas are very important to the shaping of society. In fact, they are more powerful than bombings or armies or guns. And this is because ideas are capable of spreading without limit. They are behind all the choices we make. They can transform the world in a way that governments and armies cannot. Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me than fighting with guns or politics or political power. With ideas, we can make real change that lasts.

"Still one thing more, fellow citizens - a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men [and women] from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circles of our felicities." - Thomas Jefferson

[Quote No.37394] Need Area: Friends > General
"You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid. [Some politicians, at least from this quote, seem to see a crisis - like a terrorist attack, natural disaster or economic crash - as a plausible reason and excuse to do something that ordinarily other politicians and the voting public would not agree to. Therefore in times of crisis political policy and authority should be even more carefully justified and scrutinised lest unscrupulous groups use the times to constrict individual rights to liberty and private property, usurp power and misappropriate resources and funds. Throughout history there are a number of instances that are now widely known, and probably many that aren't, of politicians secretly engineering crises in order to then justify policies and actions they couldn't get approved otherwise. Therefore, especially at these times, it is important to remember Lord Acton's famous truism, 'Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely' and therefore build in even more checks and balances to any use of extraordinary power required in emergencies, including increased scrutiny and penalties for abuse of any power.]" - Rahm Emanuel
(1959 - ), American politician and the 55th Mayor of Chicago. He was at one time White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama. He served as senior advisor to President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1998 and as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Illinois's 5th congressional district, from 2003 until his resignation in 2009 to take up his position in the Obama Administration.

[Quote No.37398] Need Area: Friends > General
"It has been said that when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. Our government is full of people who sincerely believe big government and more spending is the answer to every problem. They automatically look to government for every solution. Government is their hammer, and all they know to do is to keep hammering. When government 'solutions' still don't solve the problems, they are unfazed. They keep calling for more government, more laws, and more programs.
This government-centric mindset is the root of the problem. And don't expect most politicians and bureaucrats to understand that because for whatever psychological reason] People who think this way are naturally drawn to politics and government." - Ron Paul
US Congressman. Sept 19, 2011.
