"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive... The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
-- C. S. Lewis
"The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
-- Margaret Thatcher
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is also strong enough to take everything you have."
