[Quote No.26954] Need Area: Friends > General
"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual." - Thomas Jefferson
from a Letter to Isaac H. Tiffany, 4 April, 1819.

[Quote No.27006] Need Area: Friends > General
"Many of us are afraid this expenditure of compassion will drain away our energy, deplete us for our own tasks. But the dynamics of compassion defy the ordinary laws of energy.

[Quote No.27063] Need Area: Friends > General
"I believe one of the greatest threats facing this [or any] nation is the wilful economic ignorance of the political class. Many of our elected officials at every level have no understanding of economics whatsoever, yet they wield tremendous power over our economy through taxes, regulations, and countless other costs associated with government. They spend your money with little or no thought given to the economic consequences of their actions...
We cannot suspend the laws of economics or the principles of human action any more than we can suspend the laws of physics. Yet this is precisely what Congress attempts to do time and time again, no matter how many times history proves them wrong or economists easily demonstrate the harms caused by a certain policy.
I strongly recommend that [everybody] acquire some basic knowledge of economics, monetary policy, and the intersection of politics with the economy. No formal classroom is required; a desire to read and learn will suffice. There are countless important books to consider, but the following are an excellent starting point: 'The Law' by Frédéric Bastiat; 'Economics in One Lesson' by Henry Hazlitt; 'What Has Government Done to Our Money?' by Murray Rothbard; 'The Road to Serfdom' by Friedrich Hayek; and 'Economics for Real People: An Introduction to the Austrian School' by Gene Callahan." - Ron Paul
U.S. Congressman (R-TX), from 'The Perils of Economic Ignorance', 27 March 2006.

[Quote No.27102] Need Area: Friends > General
"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?'. Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?'. Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?'. But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'. And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Martin Niemoeller
