Prosperity

The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life.

Teddy Roosevelt

The nature of truth is that when expressed it is always eloquent. The nature of eloquence is that it can make almost any lie believable.

Jon Goff

Do not confuse charisma for character, education for intelligence, or eloquence for truth.

Jon Goff

Self imposed ignorance is as dangerous as government imposed censorship.

Jon Goff

The idea that the ability to do a thing automatically endows one with the right to do it has been and is ever the enemy of freedom. In the mind of a king, it becomes tyranny. In the hearts of a free people, it becomes anarchy. Society will not and cannot tolerate anarchy, and will grant more power to whatever government exists in order to combat anarchy. The result is again tyranny, for governement only ever grows in power at the expense of personal liberty.
