OK, let's have a "Quotes" thread!

I gave my life for freedom — this I know; for those who bade me fight told me so.– W.N. Ewer

A bad attitude is like a flat tire.

You can't go anywhere till you change it.

Henry Rollins.

Once a right to collective looting has been substituted for the right of each person to have whatever he has produced, it is not at all surprising to find the official dispenser deciding that it is right for them to loot the loot -- for a "worthy" purpose, of course.– F.A. Harper

God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.– Daniel Webster

Man grants Liberty only to those that deserve it.

"Liberty" will change my tire, if I'm "blessed‽"

Gesundheit!

human beings don't only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades.

George Orwell, from his review of Mein Kampf in the New English Weekly, 21 March 1940

We make ourselves real by telling the truth. Man can hardly forget that he needs to know the truth, for the instinct to know is too strong in us to be destroyed. But he can forget how badly he also needs to tell the truth. We cannot know truth unless we ourselves are conformed to it. We must be true inside, true to ourselves, before we can know a truth that is outside us. But we make ourselves true by manifesting the truth as we see it.– Thomas Merton

not an atom of truth

The liberty of going wrong is the seamy side of the priceless privilege of going right by free choice rather than by compulsion.– William Ernest Hocking

"The triumph of the S.S. demands that the tortured victim allow himself to be led to the noose without protesting, that he renounce and abandon himself to the point of ceasing to affirm his identity. And it is not for nothing. It is not gratuitously, out of sheer sadism, that the S.S. men desire his defeat. They know that the system which succeeds in destroying its victim before he mounts the scaffold . . . is incomparably the best for keeping a whole people in slavery."—Hannah Arendt reporting on the trial of Adolf Eichmann
