Quotes

"Liberalism is not Socialism, and never will be. There is a great gulf fixed. It is not a gulf of method, it is a gulf of principle. […] Socialism seeks to pull down wealth. Liberalism seeks to raise up poverty. Socialism would destroy private interests; Liberalism would preserve private interests in the only way in which they can be safely and justly preserved, namely by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference […] Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capital; Liberalism attacks monopoly."

Winston Churchill...

Courage is the knowledge of what is not to be feared.
Pericles

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (Letter to Col. William F. Elkins)

Capitalism, when conducted with a sincere sense of fairness, tolerance and compassion... is hard to distinguish from Liberalism.
Todd Kurland

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
Stephen Hawking

The responsibility of the great states is to serve and not to dominate the world. 
   Harry S. Truman in first message to Congress as President

The fruit of silence is prayer,
The fruit of prayer is faith,
The fruit of faith is love,
The fruit of love is service,
The fruit of service is peace.

   Mother Teresa

No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.
   Albert Einstein

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. 
   FDR

The secret to happiness is freedom; the secret to freedom is courage.
   Thucydides (BC460-400)

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
   
Teddy Roosevelt
