Thomas Jefferson on banking, inflation & fiat currency
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson -
Thomas Jefferson on banking, inflation & fiat currency

True Treasure
"He is no fool to give what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot -
True Treasure
24 "Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?"' - Matthew 16:24-26 -
True Treasure
"19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-21 -
Ron Paul on Liberty
""I'm convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you're less safe when you give up your liberties." " — Ron Paul -
Ron Paul on Liberty
"Failure of government programs prompts more determined effort, while the loss of liberty is ignored or rationalized away...whether is it is the war on poverty, drugs, terrorism...or the current Hitler of the day, an appeal to patriotism is used to convince the people that a little sacrifice of liberty, here or there, is a small price to pay...The results, though, are frightening and will soon become even more so." — Ron Paul -
Quick Quotes
"As it is the distinguishing happiness of free governments that civil order should be the result of choice and not of necessity, and the common wishes of the people become the laws of the land, their public prosperity and even existance very much depend upon suitably forming the minds and morals of their citizens." - Abraham Baldwin -
Ron Paul on Liberty
"Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long." — Ron Paul -
Quick Quotes
"One problem with politicians in Washington is that when problems they create come to a head, they typically feel this irresistible urge to do something, rather than to un-do something." - Congressman Ron Paul -
Ron Paul on Liberty
""Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it’s realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy. A few have, and others will continue to do so, but too many—both in and out of government—close their eyes to the issue of personal liberty and ignore the fact that endless borrowing to finance endless demands cannot be sustained. True prosperity can only come from a healthy economy and sound money. That can only be achieved in a free society." " — Ron Paul -
Quick Quotes
"What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without restraint. Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetities... Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters." - Edmund Burke -
Quick Quotes
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce.... The powers reserved to the several States will exted to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State." - James Madison ~ Federalist, No. 45 My twitter page

The Necessity of Morality
"Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us." - Dr. Benjamin Rush "It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government." - George Washington "The opinion that human reason, left without the constant control of Divine laws and commands, will...secure freedom... is [madness].... The history of the whole world refutes it." - Noah Webster Tags
