QUOTES OF THE DAY 8-9-12

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. Joseph Goebbels

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers. Voltaire

The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster. Ludwig von Mises

[The State] is a device for taking money out of one set of pockets and putting it in another. Voltaire

Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail. Benito Mussolini

One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation. Thomas B. Reed (1886)
