• I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone. - H. L. Mencken

  • If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed;… if you will not fight when your victory will be 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 small 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 Churchill

  • It seems at first glance that authority could not exist at all if all men were cowards or if no men were cowards, but flourishes as it does because most men are cowards and some men are thieves. Actually, the inner dynamics of cowardice and submission on the one hand and of heroism and rebellion on the other are seldom consciously realized either by the ruling class or the servile class. Submission is identified not with cowardice but with virtue, rebellion not with heroism but with evil. To the Roman slave-owners, Spartacus was not a hero and the obedient slaves were not cowards; Spartacus was a villain and the obedient slaves were virtuous. The obedient slaves believed this also. The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than cowardly.--Robert Anton Wilson

      • Sam Kegley Slaves had just as well think obedience until their day s of revolution, Dave. Sometimes I think you are such an anti-coward, it may cause you serious trouble. Nag- come back home and Write, write, write! Find a good blue saffire source for your best girl, corner what you can of the source and bring your girl back to America and let her set up a blue saffire jewelry business here while you write, write, write. The world needs you and God needs you, believe it or not good friend.
