| Quote:As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.[Julius Caesar] Quote:The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Most modern freedom is at root fear.

It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words: it is war minus the shooting.[George Orwell] Quote:Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:Any fool can make a rule.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.[Ansel Adams] Quote:I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.[Plato] Quote:When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country.
