“Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words. When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath …

“The plans differ; the planners are all alike.” – Frederic Bastiat

“Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies. It is, indeed, only the exceptional man who can even stand it. The average man doesn’t want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” – H.L. Mencken

“The Constitution of the United States was made not merely for the generation that then existed, but for posterity — unlimited, undefined, endless, perpetual posterity.” – Henry Clay

“All around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I’m wearing it It’s all for my true love who’s far, far away It’s a quarter pound of reasons and a half a pound of sense A small sprig of time and as much of prudence You mix them all together and you will plainly see He’s a false deluding young man, let him go, farewell he and All around my hat I will wear the green willow And …

“Oh Napolean Bonaparte, You’re the cause of my woe Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go Broken hearted I wander, broken hearted I remain Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain When Bonny commanded his armies to stand And proudly to his banners all gaily and grand He leveled his cannons right over the plain Andy my bonny lgith horseman in the wars he was slain And if I was a small bird and had wings and could fly I would fly over the salt sea where my true love does lie …

“I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye …

“And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto …

“The desire to confirm the legitimacy of the facially valid firearms permit that Soukaneh presented did not—with nothing more—provide Andrzejewski with probable cause for the half-hour or longer handcuffed detention that occurred. It is uncontested that Soukaneh presented Andrzejewski with a gun license, the legitimacy of which Andrzejewski himself admits he had no reason to question. Moreover, Andrzejewski concedes that he was informed of the facially valid license before Soukaneh told him that he had a gun and specified its location. Andrzejewski does not allege that the permit appeared abnormal in any fashion or that Soukaneh engaged in any suspicious …

“There is no means by which anyone can evade his personal responsibility. Whoever neglects to examine to the best of his abilities all the problems involved voluntarily surrenders his birthright to a self appointed elite of supermen. In such vital matters blind reliance upon ‘experts’ and uncritical acceptance of popular catchwords and prejudices is tantamount to the abandonment of self-determination and to yielding to other people’s domination. As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His own fate and that of his progeny are at stake.” – Ludwig von Mises

“But we can still rise up,And be the nation again that stood against them,Proud Edward’s army,And sent them homewards,To think again!” – The last verse of the Scottish National Anthem

“When you’re dealing with a bankrupt sovereign – like the U.S. government – you’re dealing with a very powerful wounded bear. You have to be very careful because you can’t know what the beast is going to do.” – Porter Stansberry

“Sean eternos los laureles, que supimos conseguir. Coronados de gloria vivamos ¡O juremos con gloria morir! ¡O juremos con gloria morir!” In English: May the laurels be eternal that we were able to fetch Let us live crowned in glory Or let’s swear to die with glory! Or let’s swear to die with glory! – The last verse of the Argentine National Anthem

“Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; And charged them that they should not make him known: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man …

“And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them. And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of …
