“Circumstances are seldom right… You must always do with less than you need in a situation vastly different from what you would have chosen as appropriate for your special endowments”. –Charlton Ogburn

“A State is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and dis-establish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate habits, and to censor opinions. The modern State claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and democrats”. –Walter Lippmann

“It makes no difference if I burn my bridges behind me — I never retreat”. –Fiorello LaGuardia
