There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
- Winston Churchill

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.”
- Mahatma Ghandi

“Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.”
- Robert E. Lee

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!”
– Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“I am very fond of truth, but not at all of martyrdom.”
- Voltaire

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
- Calvin Coolidge.

“To me, conservative means believing in a minimum amount of government and a maximum amount of freedom---and keeping government out of people's lives and business---and leaving people alone.”
- Lyn Nofziger

“The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be sacred or liberty cannot exist.”
- John Adams, The Works of John Adams, 6:9, p. 280

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
- John Adams, October 11, 1798
“In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another.”
- Voltaire

“The art of government is to make two-thirds of a nation pay all it possibly can pay for the benefit of the other third.”
- Voltaire

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
from bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to apathy;
from apathy to dependence;
from dependency back again into bondage.”
-Alexander Tytler, 1770

“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, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
- Ronald Reagan

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
- Thomas Jefferson

“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that 'an unjust law is no law at all.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.

“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”
- SCOTUS Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”
– Voltaire

“Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?”
– Henry David Thoreau, ‘On the Duty of Civil Disobedience’

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were ever our countrymen.”
- John Adams

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children may have peace.”
– Thomas Paine

“We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.”
- Thomas Jefferson

“If you can’t hit them with the first 6 shots, what makes you think the next 6 are gonna be any different ?”
- Jeff Cooper

“I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.”
- Voltaire

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex… It takes a touch of genius to move in the opposite direction."
- Albert Einstien

“I cannot live without books.”
- Thomas Jefferson

Aaron the Libertarian
[...] I'm a libertarian in the same sense that Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry were libertarians. In other words, I define it by my political thought and philosophy, not a bunch of 1970s hippie fucking talking points and party platform stances. [...]
Scipio
[...] The Democrat Party is a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. [...] In fact, woven through and through the fiber of the Democrats is hatred of Christian morals, charity and decency. If the Democrats came out tomorrow and publically embraced Satan himself, there would be no need at all for that party to alter in the slightest any element of its current policies. [...]
We live in interesting times, eh?
