Quotes

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Teddy Roosevelt

He who says ‘I know him’ but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

John the Apostle

All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him.

H. L. Mencken

We don’t want to go back to tomorrow, we want to move forward.
