It is not the business of government to make men virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of his own folly. Government should be repressive no further than is necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating the very ends they are intended to serve.

The Collected Sayings

Do not fear strong men. Fear weak men; they will cause more
harm through their failures than the strong will ever cause by their successes.

–~*~–

While it is a truism that a man without fear is a man without hope, it is a truth that a man without hope is a man without fear.

–~*~–

All life is conflict; there is no peace this side of the grave.

–~*~–

The Truth will not set you free. Truth is a tyrant that will enslave you and cast you into a bondage more severe than any falsehood or ignorance could.

There are now more, eeyore.

It takes a while to post these. They’re things I’ve said many times over the course of my life but writing the explanations takes more than a bit of time.

Consciousness raising is a process, not an event.
