♦ nivek ♦ Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 "The control of the production of wealth is the control of human life itself."-- Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) French-born British writer Source: THE SERVILE STATE http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Hilaire.Belloc.Quote.B8A1 "To blindly trust government is to automatically vest it with excessive power. To distrust government is simply to trust humanity - to trust in the ability of average people to peacefully, productively coexist without some official policing their every move. The State is merely another human institution - less creative than Microsoft, less reliable than Federal Express, less responsible than the average farmer husbanding his land, and less prudent than the average citizen spending his own paycheck." -- James Bovard (1956- ) American author, lecturer Source: Freedom in Chains, The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen (St. Martin's Press), 2000 http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/James.Bovard.Quote.8A0D "Usurpation, the exercise of power not granted, is not legitimized by repetition." -- Raoul Berger (1901-2000) was an attorney and professor at Harvard University http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Raoul.Berger.Quote.6A2C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
