"However widespread the desire to be free,..." - Quote by Thomas Sowell

“Rhetoric is no substitute for reality.”

“Force is the antithesis of freedom, but force must be used, if only to defend against other force.”

“Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God.”

“The road to freedom is a difficult, hard road. It always makes for temporary setbacks.”

“Out-worn heart, in a time out-worn,Come clear of the nets of wrong and right;Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight,Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn.”

“Let us each of us now embrace with solemn duty, and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.”

“They won't let me ... I can't be ... good!”

“Money has always been in politics. And I'm not sure you'd want money to be completely out of politics.”

“The problem in our society and in our schools is to inclulcate, without overdoing it, the notion of education, as in the Latin educere--to lead, to bring out what is in someone rather than merely to indoctrinate him/her from the outside. (89)”
