Gary Hardy's quotes

Tyrannies

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.

— Thomas Paine

Truth

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

— Theodore Roosevelt

Democracy

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

— Alexis de Tocqueville

600 B.C.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

— Aesop

Funny

You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.

— Art Buchwald
