"I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man." "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Top 5 quotes from Liberty, War & Peace "Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago." "A tyrant is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader." "If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!" "It is only necessary to make war with five things: with the maladies of the body, with the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city, with the discords of families." "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
