"We are opposed, around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit and highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed not published, its mistakes are buried not headlined, its dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no secret is revealed.

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable."

-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

"When people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty" -Thomas Jefferson

Here are a couple of Winston Churchill's more colorful quotes:

Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get it's pants on

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

Nancy Astor: "Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison."

Churchill: "If I were your husband I would take it"
