Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sewn will never be uprooted.

Vladimir Lenin, circa 1918.

If we lose the kids, we lose the country.

Ann Coulter

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

Mark Twain

Facts dont care about your feelings. There is no such thing as your truth. There is truth and your opinion. Without a clear moral vision, we devolve into moral relativism, and from there into oblivion. Ben Shapiro

If you believe a lie, even though it's a lie and not really true, it becomes true for you because that is what you believe.

Life Point via Joyce Meyers

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Margaret Thatcher

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is equal sharing of misery.

Winston Churchill

Nothing would be more fatal than for government of the states to get into the hands of the experts. Expert knowledge is limited knowledge: and the unlimited ignorance of the plain man who knows only what hurts is a safer guide, than any vigorous direction of a specialized character. Why should you assume that all expert doctors, engineers, etc. are drones or worse?

Young Churchill writing to H.G. Wells

Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-focused altruism: I may not want to help you, but if I dont give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.

Ben Shapiro

The Inherent vice of Capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings: the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

Winston Churchill

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Helen Keller

Capitalism: the worst economic system, except for all the others. Capitalism is no different than anything else in this world. It is imperfect because imperfect men created it. Humans are not perfect, nor are they capable of perfection. Avarice and greed are not unique to capitalism. They were present in the USSR, and they will present themselves in any man-made system.

Matt Barnes, The Pitt News, 2014

You were given a choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.

Winston Churchill

If you win, you need not have to explain, if you lose, you should not be there to explain!

Adolf Hitler

He alone who owns the youth, gains the future.

Adolf Hitler

To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.

Adolf Hitler

The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.

Adolf Hitler

Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.

Adolf Hitler

If war is horrible, servitude is worse.

Winston Churchill.

To build may have to be slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtlessness of a single day.

Winston Churchill.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Winston Churchill.

If you are not liberal at 20 it is because you have no heart. If you are not conservative at forty, then you have no brains.

Winston Churchill.

Why do our enemies see us as Americans and we Americans see each other as the enemy?

Kathleen Roos PhD.

We have met the enemy and it is us.

Walt Kelly's comic strip Pogo and Politico 2021.

The United States is the last best hope of Earth.

Abraham Lincoln

Only America can hurt America.

Eisenhower

Mostly is it the loss which teaches us about the worth of things.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Experience outweighs your opinion.

Candace Owen and John Rich

You dont know what youve got till it's gone

Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi

How do you tell a Communist? It's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Ronald Raegan

Government is not the solution to our problem: government is the problem. Ronald Reagan

The Liberal/Marxist Machine in our Country demands that Equity of Outcome be mandatory. Be that as it may, I have to admitI cannot wait for these idealists to discover that ultimately, they too, would wind up being controlled by the very machine they built.

H. G. Goerner

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

Ronald Reagan

As government expands, liberty contracts.

Ronald Reagan

Government does not solve problems. It subsidizes them.

Ronald Reagan

The best minds are not in government. If they were, business would steal them away.

Ronald Reagan

We dont have a trillion-dollar debt because we havent taxed enough: we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.

Ronald Reagan

We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the law breaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Ronald Reagan

Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they dont need it and hell where they already have it.

Ronald Reagan

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

Will Rogers

Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.

Will Rogers

If you want to be successful, it's just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

Will Rogers

Because someone repeats something over and over and louder and louder, still does not make it true.

Kathleen S. Roos, PhD

Science is never settled. It is probationary and with new information and new technology it can change. Thomas Kuhn. Basis: Science is taken from the Latin word siens to know. It is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

Oxford Dictionary

There are but two ways of forming an opinion in science. One is the scientific method; the other, the scholastic. One can judge from experiment, or one can blindly accept authority. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all important, and theory merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything and facts are junked when they do not fit theory laid down by authority
