Teachers are those who use themselves as bridges, over which they invite
their students to cross; then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully
collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own. -- Nikos

I am not so enamored of my own opinions that I disregard what others may
think of them. I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the
judgement of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavor to seek the truth
in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God. Yet I hold
that completely erroneous views should be shunned. -- Nicolaus
Copernicus

In a world that has gone global, we no longer have a choice. If we don't
export freedom, we risk importing the viruses which have corrupted other
nations. ... Some critics complained that President Bush was arrogant when
he suggested America can and should export freedom to other countries. This
implies the people of unfree countries may not wish to be free. Which is
the greater arrogance? -- Cal Thomas

[I]n 1848, Karl Marx said, a progressive income tax is needed to transfer
wealth and power to the state. Thus, Marx's Communist Manifesto had as its
major economic tenet a progressive income tax. ... I say it is time to
replace the progressive income tax with a national retail sales tax, and it
is time to abolish the IRS. -- Rep. James Traficant, Jr.

Charity is reaching into one's own pockets to assist his fellow man in
need. Reaching into someone else's pocket to assist one's fellow man hardly
qualifies as charity. When done privately, we deem it theft, and the
individual risks jail time. -- Walter Williams

Too many people -- some of them judges -- seem to think that freedom of
speech means freedom from consequences for what you have said. If you
believe that, try insulting your boss when you go to work tomorrow. Better
yet, try insulting your spouse before going to bed tonight. --
Thomas Sowell
