Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: And more quotes.... Abigail Van Buren quotes: Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place. Vermont Declaration of Rights quotes: That frequent recurrence to fundamental principles, and a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, industry and frugality, are absolutely necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty, and keep government free. The people ought, therefore, to pay particular attention to these points, in the choice of officers and representatives, and have a right to exact a due and constant regard to them, from their legislators and magistrates, in the making and executing such laws as are necessary for the good government of the State. Virginia Declaration of Rights quotes: The rights enumerated in this Bill of Rights shall not be construed to limit other rights of the people not therein expressed. Voltaire quotes: It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. The safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death. In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. Your book is dedicated by the soundest reason. You had better get out of France as quickly as you can. The tyranny of the many would be when one body takes over the rights of others, and then exercises its power to change the laws in its favor. It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere. It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. ...So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men. Let the laws be clear, uniform and precise; to interpret laws is almost always to corrupt them. The ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination. It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster. Otto von Bismarck quotes: The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots and the bankers went anew to grab the riches. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to systematically corrupt civilisation. The less people know about how sausages and laws are made, the better they'll sleep at night. Ludwig Von Mises quotes: The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state. It is impossible to understand the history of economic thought if one does not pay attention to the fact that economics as such is a challenge to the conceit of those in power. An economist can never be a favorite of autocrats and demagogues. With them he is always the mischief-maker, and the more they are inwardly convinced that his objections are well-founded, the more they hate him. Government cannot make man richer, but it can make him poorer. The common man is the sovereign consumer whose buying or abstention from buying ultimately determines what should be produced and in what quantity and quality. The main political problem is how to prevent the police power from becoming tyrannical. This is the meaning of all the struggles for liberty. The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state. The history of the West, from the age of the Greek polis down to the present-day resistance to socialism, is essentially the history of the fight for liberty against the encroachments of the officeholders. The first thing a genius needs is to breath free air. Veterans of Foreign Wars quotes: Whereas it has been proposed that the United States of America become a part of a world federal government; and ... this program...would entail the surrender of our national sovereignty and...bring into being a form of government whose authority would supercede that of the Constitution of The United States Government; and ...institute a system of laws where-by American citizens could be tried by aliens in controversion of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States; and ...the Veterans of Foreign Wars is composed solely of men who have worn the uniform of the United States on foreign shores and in hostile waters in time of war and from their personal experiences are familiar with the traditions and operations of other countries; and ...many of our comrades rest forever in foreign soil and their sacrifices were made to retain the dignity and sovereignty of the United States of America: Now therefore, be it Resolved by the Fiftieth Annual Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, That we hereby declare that we are unalterably opposed to any program which would entail the surrender of any part of the sovereignty of the United States of America in favor of a world government... Bears repeating, if you wish to understand why China has won the trade war; The common man is the sovereign consumer whose buying or abstention from buying ultimately determines what should be produced and in what quantity and quality.
