"The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes."	Stanley Kubrick
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel or envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."	Winston Churchill

"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex.

"A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."	George Bernard Shaw
"The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions.

"The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it."	Adam Smith

"The great principle which this house ought to guard and cherish is that, when the tax collector comes to the private citizen and takes from him of his wealth for the services of the public, the whole of that money taken shall go for the purposes for which it is intended, and that no private interests, however powerfully they may be organized and however eloquently advocated, shall thrust their dirty fingers into the pie and take the profits for themselves."	Winston Churchill
"A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them."	P.J. O'Rourke
"Government consists in nothing else but so controlling subjects that they shall neither be able to, nor have cause to do it harm."	Nicolo Machiavelli
"The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves and one another for the general good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry."	H.G. Wells
