Samuel Johnson: It must be agreed that in most ages many countries have had part of their inhabitants in a state of slavery; yet it may be doubted whether slavery can ever be supposed the natural condition of man. It is impossible not to conceive that men in their original state were equal; and very difficult to imagine how one would be subjected to another but by violent compulsion. An individual may, indeed, forfeit his liberty by a crime; but he cannot by that crime forfeit the liberty of his children. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5465
Samuel Johnson: As the Spanish proverb says, "He, who would bring home the wealth of the Indies, must carry the wealth of the Indies with him." So it is in travelling; a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5466
Samuel Johnson: It is better to live rich, than to die rich. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5467

Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld: I have accepted that the word Lockheed will be carved on my tombstone. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5470
Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld: It is difficult to re-educate people who have been educated in nationalism. It is very difficult to convince them to give up part of their sovereignty in favor of a supranational institution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5471
Friedrich Engels: (W)hen we are in possession of state power we shall not even think of forcibly expropriating the small peasants (regardless of whether with or without compensation), as we shall have to do in the case of the big landowners. Our task relative to the small peasant consists, in the first place, in effecting a transition of his private enterprise and private possession to co-operative ones, not forcibly but by dint of example and the proffer of social assistance for this purpose. And then of course we shall have ample means of showing to the small peasant prospective advantages that must be obvious to him even today. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5472
Benjamin Tucker: To force a man to pay for the violation of his own liberty is indeed an addition of insult to injury. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5473
Palmiro Togliatti: Based on (the features of Imperialism), there is a tendency of all the bourgeoisie's political institutions to undergo a reactionary transformation... and this tendency appears in its most coherent forms with fascism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5474

Joe Biden: I was suggesting we bomb Belgrade. I was suggesting that we send American pilots in and blow up all of the bridges on the Drina. I was suggesting we take out his oil supplies. I was suggesting very specific action. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5477

Andrei Zhdanov: Thus, in Italy, as in France, the communists overestimated the strength of reaction, became victims of imperialist intimidation and blackmail, underestimated their own strength, the strength of democracy, the will of the people to protect their fundamental national rights and interests of their country. This is all the more regrettable because both the French and Italian communist parties have shown their ability to rally broad masses of the working class, labouring peasantry and intelligentsia around the communist banner in difficult conditions of work. In view of the fact that the majority of the leaders of the socialist parties (especially the British labourites and the French socialists) are acting as agents of United States imperialist circles, upon the communists devolves the special historical task of leading the resistance to the American plan for the enthralment of Europe, and of boldly denouncing all coadjutors of American imperialism in their own countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5487

Ludwig von Mises: The worship of the state is the worship of force. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5489
Ludwig von Mises: It is labor alone that is productive: it creates wealth and therewith lays the outward foundations for the inward flowering of man. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5490
Ludwig von Mises: Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Peace and not war is the father of all things. Only economic action has created the wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness. Peace builds, war destroys. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5491
Maxim Gorky: If the clouds of hatred for (Lenin), the clouds of lies and slander woven round him were even denser it would not matter, for there is no such force as could dim the torch he has raised in the stifling darkness of the world gone mad. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5492

Vladimir Putin: Russia has no unfriendly countries, but unfriendly elites in those countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5493
We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. - anonymous https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5494
Friedrich Engels: It is, therefore, the law of division of labour that lies at the basis of the division into classes. But this does not prevent this division into classes from being carried out by means of violence and robbery, trickery and fraud. It does not prevent the ruling class, once having the upper hand, from consolidating its power at the expense of the working class, from turning its social leadership into an exploitation of the masses. But if, upon this showing, division into classes has a certain historical justification, it has this only for a given period, only under given social conditions. It was based upon the insufficiency of production. It will be swept away by the complete development of modern productive forces. And, in fact, the abolition of classes in society presupposes a degree of historical evolution at which the existence, not simply of this or that particular ruling class, but of any ruling class at all, and, therefore, the existence of class distinction itself has become an obsolete anachronism. It presupposes, therefore, the development of production carried out to a degree at which appropriation of the means of production and of the products, and, with this, of political domination, of the monopoly of culture, and of intellectual leadership by a particular class of society, has become not only superfluous but economically, politically, intellectually a hindrance to development. This point is now reached. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5495
