Survival Blog closes with a quote of the day each day. They've had some really good ones, lately:
“One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that ‘violence begets violence.’ I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure-and in some cases I have- that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.” Col. Jeff Cooper
“Whenever there is a jackboot stepping on a human face, there will be a well-heeled Western Liberal to explain that the face does, after all, enjoy free health care and 100% literacy.”
John Derbyshire
(Of course there are differing opinions on what counts as literacy these days.)
“The choice facing the nation is between two totally different ways of life. And what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark, divisive clouds of Marxist socialism and bring together men and women from all walks of life who share a belief in freedom.” Margaret Thatcher
“No man escapes
When freedom fails,
The best men rot in filthy jails;
And they who cried: ’Appease, Appease!’
Are hanged by the men they tried to please.”
Attorney Hiram Mann, letter to the editor, Wall Street Journal, March 28, 1947
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell
“Let me tell you the secret that has led to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.” Louis Pasteur
