"Tyranny, like fog in the well known..." - Quote by Ronald Reagan
Tyranny, like fog in the well known poem, often creeps in silently 'on little cat feet.'

“After watching the State of the Union address the other night [1994], I'm reminded of the old adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Only in this case, it's not flattery, but grand larceny: the intellectual theft of ideas that you and I recognize as our own. Speech delivery counts for little on the world stage unless you have convictions, and, yes, the vision to see beyond the front row seats.”
“The current tax code is a daily mugging.”
“Once people who have been deprived of basic freedom taste a little of it, they want all of it.”

“I have always said that if Great Britain were defeated in war I hoped we should find a Hitler to lead us back to our rightful position among the nations. I am sorry, however, that he has not been mellowed by the great success that has attended him. The whole world would rejoice to see the Hitler of peace and tolerance, and nothing would adorn his name in world history so much as acts of magnanimity and of mercy and of pity to the forlorn and friendless, to the weak and poor.... Let this great man search his own heart and conscience before he accuses anyone of being a warmonger.”
“The most insupportable of tyrannies is that of inferiors.”
“My method is conversion, not coercion, it is self-suffering, not the suffering of the tyrant. I know that method to be infallible.”
