Quotables

Here are some quotable quotes drawn from my American experience;
Today all politicians in fact the American government as a whole, is but a facade, what's on its face is one thing, but behind the facade, is an asylum for the ignorant. (G.A.P.)

Men/women of true intelligence need not be careful of the word/s they utter, that is a requirement of the deceiver only. (G.A.P.)

The context and intent of the words we use should always stand on their own merit. (G.A.P.)

The presence of men/women tells us nothing, only their words and/or deeds. (G.A.P.)
Slow but sure; is the path of higher thought. (G.A.P.)
Little by little, bit by bit; is but treachery by the insidious. (G.A.P.)

The birth of a person does not grant him/her virtue. (G.A.P.)

The instincts of mankind may grant survival only, as like the animal. (G.A.P.)
The ego of mankind is but an insurgent within. (G.A.P.)
The egotist is intellectually deaf, blind, and ignorant. (G.A.P.)

"One single object ... [will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation."--Thomas Jefferson, letter to Edward Livingston, March 25, 1825
"[T]here is not a syllable in the plan under consideration which directly empowers the national courts to construe the laws according to the spirit of the Constitution.- "Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 81, 1788
"[J]udges, therefore, should be always men of learning and experience in the laws, of exemplary morals, great patience, calmness, coolness, and attention. Their minds should not be distracted with jarring interests; they should not be dependent upon any man, or body of men." --John Adams
"The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded." --French political philosopher C. L. De Montesquieu (1689-1755)
"The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum." --English cleric and writer Charles Colton (1780-1832)
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." --author Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
The historical compilation of objective reasoning passed on to their posterity through time represents the true intellectual progress of mankind, whereas the subjective reasoning from history represents mankind s' folly and repetition of historical ignorance to which modern man is prone to follow. (G.A.P.)
