Consciousness and awakening quote image by Ralph Waldo TrineCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The majority of people are not awake; it is only here and there that we find one even partially awake. Practically all of us, as a result, are living lives that are unworthy almost the name of lives, compared to those we might be living, and that lie within our easy grasp. While it is true that each life is in and of Divine Being, hence always one with it, in order that this great fact bear fruit in individual lives, each one must be conscious of it; he or she must know it in thought, and then live continually in this consciousness." Ralph Waldo Trine

"However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences. It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue." Wilhelm von Humboldt
Albert Schweitzer quote about freedom, self-determination, courage, and refusal to trade dignity for securityCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Under no circumstances do I want to be merely a ′common′ man. I have the right to be exceptional – if I can. I want opportunities, not security. I do not want to be a citizen who is humiliated and dulled by government support. I want to encounter risk, have desires and fulfill them, suffer disaster and enjoy success. I refuse to sell my own determination for a pittance. I would prefer to face life’s difficulties rather than lead a secure existence. I prefer the exciting tension of my own success to the dull calm of Utopia. I want neither to sacrifice my freedom for benefits nor my human dignity for charity. I have learned to think and act for myself, to look the world squarely in the face and to recognize that this is my achievement. This is what is meant when we say: I am a free man!" Albert Schweitzer
Inspirational chiropractic quote by B. J. Palmer about restoring the natural flow of nerve impulseCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"So what Chiropractic does, is that it simply “takes the handcuffs off Nature”, as it were. By finding the particular vertebra that had shifted and restoring it to its natural position, the adjustment thus releases the natural flow of nerve impulse. When the maze of nerves, or Nature’s communication system, supplies the body with the energy it needs for well being, you have health." B. J. Palmer
Lafayette quote about serving the common good, protecting freedom, and returning to private lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Do not calculate what I have done, for I shall accept no recompense. Calculate the public advantage, the welfare and liberty of my country, and believe that I shall refuse no burden, no danger, provided that, at the hour of tranquillity, I may return to private life, for there now remains but one step for my ambition - that of arriving at zero." Lafayette
Harry Browne quote about the Bill of Rights and individual freedomsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"...The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances." Harry Browne
Emma Goldman quote about law, change, and new ideasCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time." Emma Goldman
Psychological manipulation and fear quote by Joost A.M. MeerlooCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In order to tame people into the desired pattern, victims must be brought to a point where they have lost their alert consciousness and mental awareness. Freedom of discussion and free intellectual exchange hinder conditioning. Feelings of terror, feelings of fear and hopelessness, of being alone, of standing with one's back to the wall, must be instilled" Joost A.M. Meerloo
Murray Rothbard quote about the relationship between capitalism and anarchismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism, and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism. Not only are they compatible, but you can't really have one without the other. True anarchism will be capitalism, and true capitalism will be anarchism" Murray Rothbard
Inspirational family and material values quote image by John Taylor GattoCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If you live in a material universe where acquiring things is very important to you, then family is an absolute deterrent to maintaining that sort of a world, because family involves values like affection, and sympathy, and passion, and types of pleasure that lead nowhere in a material sense." John Taylor Gatto
