A quotation at the right moment is like bread to the famished. -- Anonymous

It's funny the amount of non-libertarians, socialists, and leftist-anarchists quoted. Even after we exclude the occasional quote included solely for snark value. Almost like someone went mining for anything that even generally related to the word "freedom".
This one made me laughFrom the page: "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury." - Alexander Tytler
From the page: "# They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. â€" Benjamin Franklin
# One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation. â€" Thomas B. Reed (1886)"
Awesome quotes!
This cannot be overstated.
"The greatest threat to the future of our nation - to our freedom - is not foreign military aggression ... but the growing dependence of the people on a paternalistic government. A nation is no stronger than its people and the best measure of their strength is how they accept responsibility. There will never be a great society unless the materialism of the welfare state is replaced by individual initiative and responsibility." ~Charles B. Shuman"
We have to know, understand, and thirst for personal responsibility. We must master ourselves. An imperfect people cannot hope to make world conditions any better than their own; we must fix ourselves before we can hope to fix others.
