"I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating."
Ambrose Bierce

H.G. Wells
"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."
Ayn Rand
"It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare."
Edmund Burke
"It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellow men."
George MacDonald
"It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world."
