June 30.

Malcolm X (1925-1965)

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it."
Malcolm X (1925-1965)

June 29.

Elie Wiesel (1928-)

"I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
Elie Wiesel (1928-)

June 28.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

"There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), Tavistock Group, California Medical School,
June 27, 1961.

June 27.

Richard Cheney (1941-)

“I suppose sometimes people look at my demeanor and say, 'He's the Darth Vader of the administration.'”
Vice President Dick Cheney (1941-) Explaining that since his political career will end with the Bush administration, his policies are not based on popularity but on what he thinks is best for the country (source: CNN via Times)

June 26.

Alexander Hamilton (1755 [or 1757]-1804)

"In the general course of human nature, a power over man's substance amounts to a power over his will."
Alexander Hamilton (1755 [or 1757]-1804)

June 25.

Mike Vanderboegh (1953-)

"Anyone who tells you that 'It Can't Happen Here' is whistling past the graveyard of history. There is no 'house rule' that bars tyranny coming to America. History is replete with republics whose people grew complacent and descended into imperial butchery and chaos."
Mike Vanderboegh : (1953- ) Alabama Minuteman

June 24.

The Buddha (563-483 BC)

"Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide."
Buddha [Gautama Siddharta] (563 - 483 BC),

June 23.

Daniel Webster

"...There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. ... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing."
Daniel Webster (1782-1852), June 1, 1837

June 22.

Henri Frederic Amiel (1821-1881)

"The test of every religious, political, or educational system, is the man which it forms. If a system injures the intelligence it is bad. If it injures the character it is vicious. If it injures the conscience it is criminal."
Henri Frederic Amiel - (1821-1881) - Source: Journal, 17 June 1852

June 21.

Sir Edward Gibbon (1737-1794)

"In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all -- security, comfort, and freedom. When ... the freedom they wished for was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free."
Sir Edward Gibbon (1737-1794)

June 20.

Montesquieu (1689-1755)

"The tyranny of a principal in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy."
Montesquieu, 1748 (1689-1755)

June 19.

Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)

"Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)

June 18.

John Philpot Curran (1750-1817)

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
John Philpot Curran (1750-1817): Speech upon the Right of Election, 1790.
(Speeches. Dublin, 1808.) as quoted in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations

June 17.

"The greatest of fault, I should say, is to be conscious of none."
Thomas Carlyle  (1795-1881)

June 16.

George HW Bush (1924-)

"If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the streets and lynched."
George Bush (1924-), cited in the June, 1992 Sarah McClendon Newsletter

June 15.

Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

June 14.

Bertrand Russel (1872-1970)

'I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.'
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

June
13.

Oswald Spengler (1880-1936)

"Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to think, and this they consider freedom."
Oswald Spengler - (1880-1936) Source: The Decline of the West, 1926

June 12.

"Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny"
Robert A. Heinlein, Author (1907-1988)

June 11.

"Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion -- and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority."
Søren Kierkegaard - (1813-1855) Danish philosopher

June 10.

"Tis the times plague when madmen lead the blind"
William Shakespeare [1564-1616] (King Lear) ... or was it ... Sir Francis Bacon [1561-1626] (King Lear)

June 09.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - (1749-1832)

June 07.

Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921)

"Freedom of the press, freedom of association, the inviolability of domicile, and all the rest of the rights of man are respected so long as no one tries to use them against the privileged class. On the day they are launched against the privileged they are overthrown."
Prince Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) Russian prince, author, called "The Anarchist Prince"

June 06.

John Stuart Mill

"A State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands -- even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished."
John Stuart Mill - (1806-1873) English philosopher and economist

June 05.

Ayn Rand

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed"
Ayn Rand - (1905-1982) Author - Source: Atlas Shrugged, Francisco's "Money Speech"

June 04.

Catherine of Siena

"Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches."

June 03.

"COWARDICE, n. A charge often leveled by all-American types against those who stand up for their beliefs by refusing to fight in wars they find unconscionable, and who willingly go to prison or into exile in order to avoid violating their own consciences. These 'cowards' are to be contrasted with red-blooded, 'patriotic' youths who literally bend over, grab their ankles, submit to the government, fight in wars they do not understand (or disapprove of), and blindly obey orders to maim and to kill simply because they are ordered to do so—all to the howling approval of the all-American mob. This type of behavior is commonly termed 'courageous.'"
Chaz Bufe

June 02.

Joan Baez (1941-)

“If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?”
Joan Baez (1941-)

June 01.

Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802)

"He who allows oppression, shares the crime."
Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802)
