Quotes to make your day

"The high office of the president has been used to foment a plot to destroy America's freedom, and before I leave office, I must inform the citizens of their plight." Pres. John F. Kennedy; in a speech at Columbia University, 1963; tens days before he was assassinated.

"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." Samuel Adams

"Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution (as many as 64 Million Killed), it has obviously succeeded not only in producing a more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering HIGH MORALE and community purpose. The social(ist) experiment of China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history." David Rockefeller August 10, 1973 From a China Traveler (Unseen Hand pg. 217) referring to the enslavement of the Chinese under Communism

By the year 2000 we will raise our children to believe in human potential, not God. Gloria Steinam, Saturday Review of Education, Mar. 1973

"One night in the winter of 1934 Marshal Voroshilov (Soviet Chief of State) was seated on my right and Marshall Budenny on my left. They had drunk a bit of vodka and both were relaxed and gay. You know, Bullitt,said Voroshilov, Budenny is the man who won the civil war without ever knowing what he was fighting about.
That's true, my motto is not proletarians of the world unite, but cavalrymen of the world unite. I don't care why I fight so long as I have a good war We laughed, and Voroshilov then said, I think the most extraordinary thing we ever did together was to capture Kiev without fighting.
There were 11,000 Czarist officers with their wives and children in Kiev, and they had more troops than we had. We never could have captured the city with fighting, so we used propaganda and told them that they would be released and allowed to go to their homes with their families and treated as well as possible.
They believed us and surrendered.
Then we shot all the men and boys and put all the women and girls into brothels for our army.
My army needed women, and I was concerned with my army's health and not with the health of those women; and it didn't make any difference anyhow, because they were all dead within 3 months. Testimony of William C. Bullitt, US Ambassador to Soviet Union, 1933-36, House Report 2189, Committee on Un-American Activities

"Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I'm Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country?"
-- Chief Sitting Bull, 1831-1890

"Both the loss of the will to define and defend one’s native soil and the loss of the desire to procreate send an alluring signal to the teeming favellas and kazbahs: Come, for no Western nation has the guts to shed blood - alien or its own - in the name of its own survival." -- Srdja Trifkovic

"The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body."
-- Thomas Jefferson

“Baths, piazzas, and sumptuous feasts were called by the ignorant people civilization. They were in reality the elements of slavery.” -- Tacitus

"I have given my life to try to bring unto them the advantages which our civilisation must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status; white, the superior, and they the inferior; for whenever a white man seeks to live among them as their equal, they will either destroy him or devour him, and they will destroy all his work; and so for any existing relationship or for any benefit to this people let white men from anywhere in the world who would come to help Africa remember that you must continually retain this status; you the master, and they the inferior, like children that you would help or teach. Never fraternise with them as equals, never accept them as your social equals ; or they will devour you; they will destroy you."
-- Albert Schweitzer

"When Mandela dies we will kill you whites like flies."
-- African National Congress Councillor, Mzukizi Gaba, 10th November 1997

"The topic of racial variation is admittedly disturbing, and in an ideal world might be passed over in silence, but accusations against whites have made such discretion impossible. The right of the accused to present his case includes the right to raise issues that distress his accuser. A plaintiff demanding damages for a broken leg cannot ask at the same time that his leg not be talked about, nor take offense when the defendant presents evidence that the injury was congenital. By claiming harm he opens up the question of why his leg is game. Claiming racial harm has opened the topic of racial differences."
-- Michael Levin

What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.
-- General Võ Nguyên Giáp

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse...
-- John Stuart Mill

Never confuse yourself by visions of an entire lifetime at once. That is, do not let your thoughts range over the whole multitude and variety of the misfortunes that may befall you, but rather, as you encounter each one, ask yourself, “What is there unendurable, so unsupportable, in this?” You will find that you are ashamed to admit defeat. Again, remember that it is not the weight of the future or the past that is pressing upon you, but ever that of the present alone. Even this burden, too, can be lessened if you confine it strictly to its own limits, and are severe enough with your mind’s inability to bear such a trifle.
-- Marcus Aurelius

You're still a slave, look at how you behave
Debatin' on where and when and how and what Massa gave
-- KRS-One, Higher Level, Return of the Boom Bap
