*”From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never.

As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”—Abraham Lincoln

*”Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction.

*”Communism and fascism are like the North Pole and South Pole. They are at the opposite ends of the earth, but if you woke up at either Pole tomorrow you could not tell which one it was.

They are in future to be be called ‘accommodation units.’ I don’t know how we are to sing our old song ‘Home Sweet Home.’ ‘Accommodation Unit, Sweet Accommodation Unit, There’s no place like our Accommodation Unit.’ I hope to live to see the British democracy spit all this rubbish from their lips.”—Winston Churchill

*”All down the centuries, one peculiarity of the English people has cost them dear. We have always thrown away after a victory the greater part of the advantages we gained in the struggle. The worst difficulties from which we suffer do not come from without. They come from within…from the mood of unwarrantable self-abasement into which we have been cast by a powerful section of our own intellectuals. They come from the acceptance of defeatist doctrines by a large proportion of our politicians…Nothing can save England if she will not save herself. If we lose faith in ourselves, in our capacity to guide and govern, if we lose our will to live, then indeed our story is told.”—Winston Churchill

*“America is the only country ever founded on a creed.”-- G.K. Chesterton

*”Now is the time at last to rouse the nation. Perhaps it is the last time it can be roused with a chance of preventing war, or with a chance of coming through to victory should our efforts to prevent war fail. We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavor by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world; for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save Civilization.”—Winston Churchill

*“All of the suffering of which I had been the cause and witness, all the distortion and abuse of which I was the object and who's more pertinent meaning was a universal inability to distinguish true from false, right from wrong, because the false was cast in the image of the world’s desire, and the true was nothing that the world could fathom, or wanted to…”-- Whitaker Chambers

*“Gentleness which is not prepared to kill or be killed to destroy the evil that assails life is not gentleness, it is weakness.”-- Whitaker Chambers

*“For while communists make full use of liberals and their solicitudes, and sometimes flatter them to their faces, in private they treat them with that sneering contempt that the strong and predatory almost invariably feel for victims who volunteer to help in their own victimization.”-- Whitaker Chambers

* “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”—Mark Twain

*” The only rational patriotism is loyalty to the nation all the time, loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”—Mark Twain

*“He is enterprising, irrepressible, and brimful of lawless activities.

And there ain’t no real difference between triplets and an insurrection.”—Mark Twain……on babies

*”No socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance. And this would nip opinion in the bud; it would stop criticism as it reared its head, and it would gather all the power to the supreme party and the party leaders, rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of civil servants, no longer servants and no longer civil.”-- Winston Churchill

*“In accusing Hiss of Communism, I had attacked an architect of the U.N., and the partisans of peace fell upon me like combat troops. I had attacked an intellectual and a ‘liberal.’”—Whitaker Chambers

*“Under the bland influence of the idea of progress, man, supposing himself more and more to be the measure of all things, has achieved a singularly easy conscience and an almost hermetically smug optimism. The idea that man is sinful and needs redemption has been subtly changed into the idea that man is by nature good, and hence capable of indefinite perfectibility. This perfectibility is being achieved through technology, science, politics, social reform, education.”—Whitaker Chambers

*”I have set the issue before the House in terms which do not shirk realities. It has been said by almost all speakers that, if we do not stand up to the dictators now, we shall only prepare the day when we shall have to stand up to them under far more adverse conditions. Two years ago it was safe, three years ago it was easy, and four years ago a mere dispatch might have rectified the position. But where shall we be a year hence? Where shall we be in 1940?”—Winston Churchill

*“He is a [sane] man who can have tragedy in his heart and comedy in his head.”-- G.K. Chesterton

*”If mortal catastrophe should overtake the British Nation and the British Empire, historians a thousand years hence will still be baffled by the mystery of our affairs. They will never understand how it was that a victorious nation, with everything in hand, suffered themselves to be brought low, and to cast away all that they had gained by measureless sacrifice and absolute victory—gone with the wind.”—Winston Churchill   (The same could be said of America today.)

*”So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”—Voltaire

*”Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: ‘Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.’”—Winston Churchill (on the coming war)

*“There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.”-- G.K. Chesterton

*“The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.”—Thomas Sowell

*“Virtually no idea is too ridiculous to be accepted, even by very intelligent and highly educated people, if it provides a way for them to feel special and important. Some confuse that feeling with idealism.”-- Thomas Sowell

*“Can you cite one speck of hard evidence of the benefits of "diversity" that we have heard gushed about for years? Evidence of its harm can be seen — written in blood — from Iraq to India, from Serbia to Sudan, from Fiji to the Philippines. It is scary how easily so many people can be brainwashed by sheer repetition of a word.”—Thomas Sowell

*“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.”—Thomas Sowell

*“Bailing out people who made ill-advised mortgages makes no more sense than bailing out people who lost their life savings in Las Vegas casinos.”—Thomas Sowell

*“Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?”—Thomas Sowell

*“Man is always something worse or something better than an animal; and a mere argument from animal perfection never touches him at all. Thus, in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus, no animal invented anything so bad as drunkenness – or so good as drink.” –  G.K. Chesterton

*“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.”—Thomas Sowell

*“Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God.”—Thomas Sowell

*“Racism does not have a good track record. It's been tried out for a long time and you'd think by now we'd want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management.”—Thomas Sowell
