There Is Little Hope – Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
“There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance. The shape of the world today does not permit us the luxury of soft mindedness. A nation or a civilization that continues to produce soft minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
The Whole Truth and Virtue – Quote by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Quote by Thomas Jefferson on Media and Truth

Thomas Jefferson

Gustav Heinemann
Tiffany Madison Quote on Gun Control: The True Meaning of Freedom and Force
“Most gun control arguments miss the point. If all control boils fundamentally to force, how can one resist aggression without equal force? How can a truly “free” state exist if the individual citizen is enslaved to the forceful will of individual or organized aggressors? It cannot.”
Tiffany Madison
George Orwell Quote: How Control Over the Masses Works – The Proles in 1984
“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern…Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
George Orwell
Vilfredo Pareto Quotes: The Truth About Violence and Oligarchy in Governments
“All governments use force and all assert that they are founded on reason. In fact, whether universal suffrage prevails or not, it is always an oligarchy that governs, finding ways to give to ‘the will of the people’ the expression which the few desire.”
Vilfredo Pareto
