VERSION	#5
February 2001
STATESMEN

LORD ACTON:

"At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities...." --Lord Acton

JOHN ADAMS: [Second President of the United States]

"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."  -- John Adams

"Remember, democracy never lasts long.  It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself." -- John Adams

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber or kill a flea.” – John Adams

"I must study Politics and War--that my children may have liberty,.study mathematics and philosophy,..to give to their children the right to study painting,.poetry and music"  -- John Adams

"You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments, rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws, rights derived from the Great legislator of the Universe." -- John Adams

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS:

"Posterity - you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it." -- John Quincy Adams

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." John Quincy Adams

SAMUEL ADAMS:

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating conquest of freedom, go home from us in peace.  We ask not your counsel or arms.  Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.  May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."  
Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.

"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its patriots to its ruin."  Samuel Adams (1780)

“Within our own borders we possess all the means of sustenance, defense, and commerce; at the same time, these advantages are so distributed among the different states of this continent as if nature had in view to proclaim to us be united among yourselves, and you will want nothing from the rest of the world.”  Samuel Adams  July 4, 1776, on Independence

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." --Samuel Adams

LOUIS BRANDEIS:

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government purposes are beneficent...The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning, but without understanding." -- Justice Louis Brandeis, 1928

SAMUEL BUTLER:

“It hath been said that an unjust peace is to be preferred before a just war.” -- Samuel Butler: Speeches in the Rump Parliament.

WINSTON SPENSER CHURCHILL:

Politics is more dangerous than war, for in war you are only killed once.
•	Winston Churchill

"Men occasionally stumble over truth, most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."  Winston Churchill

"Freedom requires unflagging devotion and unflappable courage.  In fighting for freedom we must 'never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never...never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.  Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy'."  --Justice Thomas quoting Winston Churchill

"We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked, but not combined. We are interested and associated, but not absorbed. And should European Statesmen address us in the words which were used of old -'Shall I speak for thee to the King or the Lord of the Host?' - - we should reply with the words of the Shunamite woman: ''Nay sir, for we dwell among our own people.'" Winston S. Churchill.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may
come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” Winston S. Churchill.

WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON:

“If something makes you cry; you have to do something about it. That's the difference between politics and guilt. I have news for the forces of greed and the defenders of the status quo: your time has come---and gone. It's time for change in America.” - William Jefferson Clinton

CALVIN COOLIDGE:

The chief business of the American people is business. ~ Calvin Coolidge, 17 January 1925 ~

JOHN PHILPOT CURRAN:

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." -- John Philpot Curran: Speech upon the Right of Election, 1790. (Speeches. Dublin, 1808.) as quoted in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations

JEFFERSON DAVIS:

"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert its self, though it may be at another time and in another form. Whatever tended to lead the people of any of the states to feel that they could be relieved from their constitutional obligations by transferring them to the federal government, or that they might otherwise evade or resist them, could not fail to be like the tares which the enemy sowed amid the 
WARRIORS

STONEWALL JACKSON:

"People who are anxious to bring on war don't know what they are bargaining for; they don't see all the horrors that must accompany such an event." -- Stonewall Jackson

ROBERT E. LEE

"I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South its dearest right. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and I have never seen the day when I did not pray for them." -- Robert E. Lee

GENERAL MacARTHUR:
 
"Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up wrinkles the soul." -- Douglas MacArthur

CAPTAIN JOHN PARKER:

"Every man of you who is equipped, follow me.  Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want to have a war, let it begin here." CAPTAIN JOHN PARKER (Commander, Lexington Militia Company) Lexington, MA, 19 April 1775, as British troops approached on their march to Concord to implement gun control 

GENERAL GEORGE PATTON:

"It is certain that the two World Wars in which I have participated would not have occurred had we been prepared. It is my belief that adequate preparation on our part would have prevented or materially shortened all our other wars beginning with that of 1812.  Yet, after each of our wars, there has always been a great hue and cry to the effect that there will be no more wars, that disarmament is the sure
road to health, happiness, and peace; and that by removing the fire department, we will remove fires.  These ideas spring from wishful thinking and from the erroneous belief that wars result from logical processes.  There is no logic in wars.  They are produced by madmen.  No man can say when future madmen will reappear.  I do not say that there will be no more wars; I devoutly hope that there will not, but I do say that the chances of avoiding future wars will be greatly
enhanced if we are ready." -- General George Patton

GENERAL JOHN STARK
:
"Live free or die, death is not the worst of evils" General John Stark

SUN TZU:

"Nothing is more difficult than the art of maneuvering for advantageous positions."  -- Sun Tzu

War is a matter of vital importance to the state; a matter of or death, the road either to survival or to ruin.  -- Sun Tzu

When the leader is morally weak and his discipline not strict, when his  instructions and guidance are not enlightened, when there are  no consistent  rules.  Neighboring rulers will take advantage of this.  -Sun Tzu

Those who excel in war first cultivate their own humanity and justice and  maintain their laws and institutions.  By these means they make their governments invincible. -Sun Tzu

It is a doctrine of war not to assume the enemy will not come, but rather  to rely on one's readiness to meet him; not to presume that he will not attack, but rather to make one's self invincible.  -- Sun Tzu

The victories won by a master of war gain him neither reputation for wisdom  nor merit for courage.  How subtle and insubstantial, that the expert leaves no trace.  How divinely mysterious, that he is inaudible. Thus, he  is master of his enemy's fate. -- Sun Tzu

The general who in advancing does not seek personal fame, and in withdrawing is not concerned with avoiding punishment, but whose only purpose is to protect the people and promote the best interests of his sovereign is like a precious jewel to the state.  --  Sun Tzu

All warfare is based on deception.  There is no place where espionage is not used. Offer the enemy bait to lure him. -- Sun Tzu

THE ENEMY

"No one understood better than Stalin that the true object of propaganda is                  neither to convince nor even to persuade, but to produce a uniform pattern of                  public utterance in which the first trace of unorthodox thought immediately reveals itself as a jarring dissonance."  Alan Bullock, in Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives

FIDEL CASTRO:

This week's "Tyranny of the Few" Award: "I share his dreams completely. I, too, am a dreamer who has seen his dreams turn into reality." --Fidel Castro, honoring John Lennon as a "revolutionary" on the 20th anniversary of the singer's death

JOSEPH GOEBBELS:

"This just shows what you can expect from Jews if they lay hands on weapons." – Joseph Goebbels regarding the Warsaw getto

"If someone tells me today: 'You are a demagogue,' I answer him in this way: 'Demagogy in the good sense is simply the ability to get the masses to understand what I want them to understand.' " Joseph Goebbels, 1928

"IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY LIES WE TELL, BECAUSE
ONCE WE HAVE WON, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT."   MINUTED STATEMENT BY DR. GOEBBELS TO ADOLF HITLER, EARLY 1930s "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", by William L Shirer.

ADOLF HITLER:

"The broad mass of a nation will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one. The greater the lie, the greater chance that it will be believed. All epoch-making events have been produced not by the written, but the spoken word.” - Adolf Hitler

"The task of propaganda lies not in a scientific training of the individual, but rather in directing the masses toward certain facts, events, necessities, etc., the purpose being to move their importance into the masses' field of vision." --Adolf Hitler

Hitler to Hermann Rauschning: "The people about us are unaware of what is really happening to them: They gaze fascinated at one or two familiar superficialities, such as possession and income and rank and other outworn conceptions. As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied. But in the meantime they have entered a new relation: a powerful social force has caught them up. They themselves are changed.  What are ownership and income to that?  Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings." – Adolf Hitler

“State authority must provide for peace and order, and peace and in turn must conversely make possible the existence of state authority.  Within these two poles all life must now revolve...Ideas of 'freedom,' mostly of a misunderstood nature, inject themselves into the state conceptions of these circles”.   Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

ANCIENTS

"We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction." --Aesop

ARISTOTLE:

"He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god." -- Aristotle

"Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, "Politics"

"Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose and in the right way --that is not easy." -- Aristotle

CATO:
"Is there not some chosen curse, Some hidden thunder in the stores of Heaven, Red with uncommon wrath to blast the man, Who owes his greatness to his country's ruin?" from the play - Cato

THUCYDIDES:

"The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom is Courage" -- Thucydides, Pericles'  Funeral Oration

“A collision at sea can ruin your entire day…”  -- Thucydides

Emperor TIBERIUS:

'If every poor man is to come here,'   he  (Emperor Tiberius) said in effect, 'and start requesting money for his children the applicants will never be satisfied and the nation's finances will collapse.'    Emperor Tiberius in AD 16

AUTHORS

FRED ALBURY:

"When they took the fourth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs. When they took the sixth amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent. When they took the second amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun. Now they've taken the first amendment, and I can say nothing about it." – Fred Albury

ANN BRADSTREET:

"Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish." --Anne Bradstreet

HARRY BROWNE:

"For those looking for security, be forewarned that there's nothing more insecure than a political promise." -- Harry Browne

VIRGINIA FRAZER BOYLE:

"Those hoof beats die not upon fame's crimson sod, 
But will ring through her song and her story; 
He fought like a Titan and struck like a god, 
And his dust is our ashes of glory." 
(Written by Mrs. Virginia Frazer Boyle)

EDMUND BURKE:

"But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint." --Edmund Burke

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

"Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist." - -Edmund Burke

When bad men combine, the good must associate, lest they fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptuous struggle. Edmund Burke:

"The people never give up their liberties but under delusion." Edmond Burke, 1784

"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients." –Edmund Burke

EuroRealists

JAMES GOLDSMITH: (1933 – 1997)

“Brussels is a madness. I will fight it from within.” Jimmy Goldsmith British businessman. The Times, 10 June 1994

GREG LANCE – WATKINS:

“I challenge, ANY highly paid professional front bench British politician, to debate with me (an antiquarian & secondhand book dealer with no political qualifications) for 30 minutes, on main stream prime time TV, and give ONE good reason for Britain being a member of the European Union; which I can not in 90 seconds prove to be: untrue, misleading, inaccurate, a lie, propaganda or totally outweighed by the down side costs.”
Challenge first made August 1997 – to date – NO TAKERS!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE:

              "With inky blot and  rotten parchment bond
              That England that was wont to conquer others
              Hath made a shameful conquest of itself"

TENNESSEE WILLIAMS:  (1911 – 1983)

“That Europe’s nothin’ on earth but a great big auction, that’s all it is.” – Tennessee Williams [Cat on a Hot Tin Roof]

EuroPhile

EU Related

New World Order / One World Government

BROCK CHISHOLM:

"To achieve One World Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, their loyalty to family traditions and national identification."
Brock Chisholm, when director of UN World Health Organisation

GREG LANCE – WATKINS:

“The Regional policy of the EU and NAFTA is nothing more than an example of the problem caused by the NWO, not the solution. Regionalisation removes the influence of democracy at grass roots to the centralised bureaucracy with reduced and diluted influence for the people.” – Greg Lance - Watkins

It is interesting to note that in one dictionary of quotations I consulted to check a quote ‘Politicians & Politics’ was sandwiched between ‘Police’ & ‘Pornography’ – you had best draw your own conclusion!
