on socialism: “It is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build; it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it.”
” A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings. “
Ludwig von Mises

Jeremy Myers wrote a post entitled The Worldwide Threat of Christian Moderates in which he said,
I believe that many of us Christians needlessly endanger the lives of other people simply by the way we live.
“The threat is not from those who see what is wrong with the world and try to do something about it. The threat is from those who do not care to know what is going on the world. It is apathy, not activism, which threatens nations and destroys lives, because when we haven’t a care in the world we tend not to care for those in the world either.”

The religion of Christ can give them one, which will make them rich indeed.” –Patrick Henry

“It does not take a majority to prevail … but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
