I wanted a place to place a few quotes concerning liberty. I get daily quotes, and sometimes they are just so good that I want to share them. Discussion is encouraged.
QUOTE (Ayn Rand @ Atlas Shrugged) |
Do you think that we want those laws to be observed? We want them broken. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power the government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." |

Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice. - John Adams |
"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people" - John Adams - Second President - 1797 - 1801
