With the author

The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern: every class is unfit to govern.

John Dalberg-Acton

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

John Dalberg-Acton

Learn as much by writing as by reading.

John Dalberg-Acton

I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.

John Dalberg-Acton

Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.

John Dalberg-Acton

If some great catastrophe is not announced every morning, we feel a certain void. Nothing in the paper today, we sigh.

John Dalberg-Acton

Socialism means slavery.

John Dalberg-Acton

The fate of every democracy, of every government based on the sovereignty of the people, depends on the choices it makes between these opposite principles, absolute power on the one hand, and on the other the restraints of legality and the authority of tradition.

Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Freedom is what everyone wants - to be able to act and live with freedom. But the only way to get to a place of freedom is through discipline.

Jocko Willink

I defend both the freedom of expression and society's right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing. It is the natural way of things.

Naguib Mahfouz

It is important for people to be able to read all sides of every question; for a feeling of national unity does not come from one-sided or inadequate information, but from a sense of freedom impartially secured and of opportunity equalized by a just government.

Jeannette Rankin

Religious freedom is what sends people to Hell.

John MacArthur

Our freedom to criticize the government - as openly and brutally as we want to - serves as a vital check against unbridled government power and control.

Kat Timpf

I believe we can, and must, strike a balance between our shared American values of religious liberty and freedom from discrimination. My concerns lie with the possible consequences of politically-driven legislation which claims to promote religious liberty but instead rolls back the legal protections held by LGBT Americans.

Gary Johnson

Our freedom, our prosperity and our security depend on a proper respect for the fortune of our neighbours, allies and old friends.
