Quotes I like

"Compassion has become the human face of contempt. A misplaced compassion degrades both the victims, who are reduced to objects of pity, and their would-be benefactors, who find it easier to pity their fellow citizens than to hold them up to impersonal standards, attainment of which would entitle them to respect." - Christopher Lasch
"When they attack one personally it means they haven't a single political argument left." - - Margaret Thatcher.
"A nation that wishes to be ignorant and free wishes for what never was and never will be." - - Thomas Jefferson
"Each one of us has the power—and must develop the will—to be the hero of his own life. We believe in goals, in purposes, in achievement and in the joy of living." - - Andrew Bernstein
The Nanny Statist's Creed: "We are smart unlike you; We are free from greed, unlike you; We must, therefore, save you from yourself and force you to a sensible life." -- Scott Johnson, powerlineblog
"Have you noticed that the imbecile always smiles? Man’s first frown is the first touch of God on his forehead. The touch of thought…" - - Ayn Rand
"Human Rights, distinct from Individual Rights, puts an end to the possibility of being human." - - Butterbaugh
