“There is a pervasive form of contemporary violence (and that is) activism and overwork…The rush and pressure of modern life are a form of its innate violence.

 To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence.

 The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.”
Thomas Merton

 These are powerful words calling our busyness violence. In Chinese the symbol for busyness translates to heart killing.

"My father was a slave and my people died to build this country, and I'm going to stay right here and have a part of it, just like you. And no fascist-minded people like you will drive me from it. Is that clear?"
Paul Robeson (1898-1976) - from testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, June 12, 1956

26.

"Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
John Adams

25.

"I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave"
H. L. Mencken
 

24.

"No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore our belief in our own guidance."
Henry Miller - (1891-1980) - Source: The Wisdom of the Heart, 1941

23.

"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves"
Edward R. Murrow

22.

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Joseph Goebbels was born in 1897 and died in 1945. Goebbels was Hitler's Minister of Propaganda

21.

Don't Let Anybody Fool You: Your Life today is the way it is because of how you think and what you know (or don't know) about the invisible world around you.

"See, in my line of work you got to repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in ... to kind of catapult the propaganda."
George W. Bush, May 24, 2005

19.

"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
Mark Twain - [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835-1910)

18.

"Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East."
John Sheehan

17.

War, we have come to believe, is a spectator sport. The military and the press ... have turned war into a vast video arcade game. Its very essence- death - is hidden from public view."
Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for New York Times

16.

The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear
Herbert Sebastien Agar

15.

Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true
Eric Hoffer

14.

" ... the United States, for generations, has sustained two parallel but opposed states of mind about military atrocities and human rights: one of U.S. benevolence, generally held by the public, and the other of ends-justify-the-means brutality sponsored by counterinsurgency specialists. Normally the specialists carry out their actions in remote locations with little notice in the national press. That allows the public to sustain its faith in a just America, while hard-nosed security and economic interests are still protected in secret. "
Robert Parry, investigative reporter and author

13.

"I went down on my knees and prayed to Almighty God for light and guidance . and one night late it came to me this way.. We could not leave (the Philippines) to themselves--they were unfit for self-government--and they would soon have anarchy and misrule over there worse than Spain's was.. There was nothing left for us to do but take them all and educate the Filipinos, and uplift and Christianize them."
President William McKinley

12.

Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down
Frederick Douglass

11.

War is the health of the State. It automatically sets in motion throughout society these irresistible forces for uniformity, for passionate cooperation with the government in coercing into obedience the minority groups and individuals which lack the larger herd sense
Randolph Bourne

10.

The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same
Marie Beyle

9.

When a whole nation is roaring patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

8.

The War Prayer

"O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire"
Mark Twain

"To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace."
Tacitus
 

6.

Throughout the history of the United States, war has been the primary impetus behind the growth and development of the central state. It has been the lever by which presidents and other national officials have bolstered the power of the state in the face of tenacious popular resistance
Bruce D. Porter

5.

Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose -- and you allow him to make war at pleasure. If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, 'I see no probability of the British invading us' but he will say to you, 'Be silent; I see it, if you don't.'"
Abraham Lincoln

4.

"If large numbers of people believe in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech even if the law forbids it. But if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them."
George Orwell [Eric Arthur Blair] (1903-1950) British author

3.

"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress had been made, through disobedience and through rebellion."
Oscar Wilde - (1854-1900)

2.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

1.

"During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable, even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism"
Howard Thurman
