Inspirational quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the power of commitment and boldnessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would have never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Quote by Reginald McKenna about banks creating and destroying money and their influence on government policyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create and destroy money. And they who control the credit of a nation direct the policy of governments, and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people." Reginald McKenna
Quote by Dr. Angela Merkel about democracy and decisions being made against the majority of GermansCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Almost all of these decisions were made against the majority of Germans. In many cases, the Germans' attitude has only changed in retrospect. I also think it is reasonable for the population to first look at the result of a measure and then form a judgment about it. I believe this is an expression of the primacy of politics. And that should be upheld." Dr. Angela Merkel
Alice Cooper quote about why politics and rock 'n' roll should not mixCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I don't like to mix politics and rock 'n' roll, i don't look at Bono, Sting and Bruce Springsteen as political. I look at them as being humanitarian. I'll contribute to anything humanitarian. Helping people who can't help themselves. But when musicians are telling people who to vote for, I think that's an abuse of power. You're telling your fans not to think for themselves, just to think like you. Rock 'n' roll is about freedom — and that's not freedom." Alice Cooper
Quote by Benedikt Lux about success in reforming Berlin's security agenciesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Measured against what had gone before, we achieved a huge success. We replaced the entire leadership of almost all of Berlin's security agencies and brought in some pretty good people. In the fire department, the police, the public prosecutor's office and also the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. I very much hope that this will have a noticeable effect in the future." Benedikt Lux
Quote by Prof. Rainer Mausfeld about the impact of corporate media on public debate and democracyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The public debating chamber is at the heart of democracy. However, it can only fulfill its function if it is intact in the sense you mentioned. Since the media constitute the public debate space in the first place, they must be designed in such a way that they do not distort it in favor of powerful interest groups. By their very nature, corporate media cannot perform such a task, as their integration into economic power structures almost inevitably makes them an instrument with which powerful economic lobby groups can covertly introduce themselves into the public debate." Prof. Rainer Mausfeld

"There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes." Edward Bernays
Quote about FDA political favoritism and market control by G. Edward GriffinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Secondly, as a result of this political favoritism, the FDA has become a primary factor in that formula whereby cartel-oriented companies in the food and drug industry are able to use the police powers of government to harass or destroy their free-market competitors." G. Edward Griffin
Quote on war financing and inflation by G. Edward GriffinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In the North, neither greenbacks, taxes, nor war bonds were enough to finance the war. So a national banking system was created to convert government bonds into fiat money, and the people lost over half of their monetary assets to the hidden tax of inflation. In the South, printing presses accomplished the same effect, and the monetary loss was total." G. Edward Griffin

"No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people." H. L. Mencken
