“Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.”

“It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled sea of thought.”

“Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.”

“Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists”

John Kenneth Galbraith

— Vladimir Ilyich Lenin



"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."

"The people who cast votes decide nothing. The people who count votes decide everything."

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." - Aldous Huxley

History is a pack of lies agreed upon. -Voltaire

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators. – P.J. O'Rourke

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." [Voltaire]

JFK said it best, "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings."

Might does not determine who is right. It determines who is left.

"Being well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society is no measure of health."

“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.” George Orwell (1903-1950), English novelist, essayist, and critic


“Men hate those to whom they have to lie.” Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.” Mohandas Gandhi

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” – George Washington

A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.
-Benjamin Franklin

...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...


But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

It does not matter if the war is not real...it does not matter if victory is not possible...The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous...The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor...A hierarchial society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance...In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation...The war is waged by the ruling group against it's own subjects...
1984, George Orwell

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty - Thomas Jefferson

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
Oscar Wilde

"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types--the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine."

G.K. Chesterton (1924)

[Ironfield]

Not quite as eloquent as some but poignant none the less:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton

“If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.” Plato

Nice quote.
