The Rewards of Resentment quote by Theodore DalrympleCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"So what exactly are the rewards of resentment. It is always a relief to know that the reason we have failed in life is not because we lack the talent, energy, or determination to succeed, but because of a factor that is beyond our control and that has loaded the dice decisively against us." Theodore Dalrymple

David Icke quote about success, footballers, garbage collectors, and the value of essential workCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector?" David Icke

"I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain." Nikola Tesla

John Dewey quote about education as the community's moral dutyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"I believe that the community's duty to education is, therefore, its paramount moral duty. By law and punishment, by social agitation and discussion, society can regulate and form itself in a more or less haphazard and chance way. But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move." John Dewey

"To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written by men who lived, thought, and felt with style." Aldous Huxley

Quote about liberty, wisdom, and virtue by Edmund BurkeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths." Edmund Burke

Neil Postman quote about the scientific method, learning, perspective, balance, and humilityCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in correcting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry — is not even a ”subject " — but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning." Neil Postman

Fred Hoyle quote about Darwin, William Paley, and scientific explanationsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"It is ironic that the scientific facts throw Darwin out, but leave William Paley, a figure of fun to the scientific world for more than a century, still in the tournament with a chance of being the ultimate winner... Indeed, such a theory is so obvious that one wonders why it is not widely accepted as being self-evident. The reasons are psychological rather than scientific." Fred Hoyle

Philip Plait quote image criticizing creationism and its disregard of realityCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"It’s dead obvious that creationism isn’t science, or even bad science. It’s nonsense. But I’ve long stated it’s also bad religion, because it doesn’t just take faith, it also takes a phenomenal disregard of reality." Philip Plait

/
0 Comments
"Wealth is not a given or an accident of history. It is not bestowed on us like rain from above. It is the product of human creativity in an environment of freedom. The freedom to own, to make contracts, to save, to invest, to associate, and to trade: these are the key to prosperity." Lew Rockwell

"A right to work can never mean anything other than a right to participate in the existing employment opportunities. Workers commonly associate this right with the idea that someone [...] has a duty to create as many employment opportunities as necessary to satisfy all claims to work." Eduard von Hartmann

"For no People will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can they easily be subdued, where Knowledge is diffusd and Virtue preservd . On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own Weight, without the Aid of foreign Invaders." Samuel Adams

/

"Public officials are permitted to finance or subsidize their own activities through taxes. That is, they are permitted to engage in and live off, what in private dealings between private law subjects is prohibited and considered 'theft' and 'stolen loot.'" Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Hans-Hermann Hoppe quote about government as a territorial monopoly and taxationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"A government is a compulsory territorial monopolist of ultimate decision-making (jurisdiction) and, implied in this, a compulsory territorial monopolist of taxation. That is, a government is the ultimate arbiter, for the inhabitants of a given territory, regarding what is just and what is not, and it can determine unilaterally, i.e., without requiring the consent of those seeking justice or arbitration, the price that justice-seekers must pay to the government for providing this service." Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Thomas Kuhn quote about political revolutions and the temporary loss of institutional governanceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Political revolutions aim to change political institutions in ways that those institutions themselves prohibit. Their success therefore necessitates the partial relinquishment of one set of institutions in favor of another, and in the interim, society is not fully governed by institutions at all" Thomas Kuhn

"Turn off your televisions. Ignore the Newt-Mitt-Rick- Barack reality show. It is as relevant to your life as the gossip on “Jersey Shore.” The real debate, the debate raised by the Occupy movement about inequality, corporate malfeasance, the destruction of the ecosystem, and the security and surveillance state, is the only debate that matters." Chris Hedges

/

"All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter." Aldous Huxley

Thomas Sowell quote image about fairness and politicsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"'Fair' is one of the most dangerous concepts in politics. Since no two people are likely to agree on what is 'fair,' this means that there must be some third party with power - the government - to impose its will. The road to despotism is paved with 'fairness'." Thomas Sowell

Quote by Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun about the challenges of a moon mission in 1953Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three … each rocket ship would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost ¼ mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons." Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun

Murray Rothbard quote about the Federal Reserve and inflationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The drum-fire of propaganda that the Fed is manning the ramparts against the menace of inflation brought about by others is nothing less than a deceptive shell game. The culprit solely responsible for inflation, the Federal Reserve, is continually engaged in raising a hue-and-cry about 'inflation,' for which virtually everyone else in society seems to be responsible. What we are seeing is the old ploy by the robber who starts shouting 'Stop, thief!' and runs down the street pointing ahead at others." Murray Rothbard
