"Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell." ~ Karl R. Popper ~

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a...

"Socialism/communism appeals to many people because on the surface it is 'so 'fair, compassionate, and kind'. Of course, once you are able to think beyond that of a 5-year-old, you realize that it is the anthesis of fairness, compassion and kindness. It is contrary to human nature, and hence it is always doomed to fail. But like the proverbial...

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no-one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected...

"When the leaders hate their civilization more than their enemies do, the civilization is doomed. Never before has history witnessed such a gargantuan self-inflicted death of a civilization that was an existential light in an otherwise world of historical darkness. This is precisely why I wrote 'The Parasitic Mind'. Nothing in nature is more...

"Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in...

"I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind." ~ John Diefenbaker ~
