Favorite Quotes
"A pupil from whom nothing is ever demanded which he cannot do, never does all he can." J.S. Mill (Autobiography)

"A government big enough to give you everything you need, is a government strong enough to take everything you have"
- Thomas Jefferson

The price good people pay for their indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men. — Plato (427-347 BC)

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, and is always followed by a dictatorship.

The average of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage."

— Sir Alex Fraser Tytler (1747-1813), Scottish jurist and historian.

Jefferson
