♦ nivek ♦ Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 "People are tired of liberty.They have had a surfeit of it. Liberty is no longer a chaste and austere virgin... Today’s youth are moved by other slogans... Order, Hierarchy, Discipline." -- Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Italian dictator during WW2 Source: Speech, March 1923 http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/B...lini.Quote.A80C "The Greeks... labored under the delusion that their democracy was a guarantee of peace and plenty, not realizing that unrestrained majority rule always destroys freedom, puts the minority at the mercy of the mob, and works at cross-purposes to the effective use of human energy and individual initiative." -- Henry Grady Weaver (1889-1949) Source: "The Mainspring of Human Progress," 1947 http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/H...aver.Quote.BD57 "... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people ... will hate the new world order ... and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people." -- H. G. Wells (1866-1946) Source: in his book entitled "The New World Order" (1939) http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/H...ells.Quote.0B33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
