“Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.” IfsHeartMatterEyeWinningLibertyPrinciplesDoorsBloodAcceptanceTearsLoversDemandPicksClaimsNervesDislikeHarshVeinsMistressSlamLike And DislikeTears In Your Eyes Author:William H.

“The establishment of a rating system, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of moral quality control programs based on things certain Christians do not like.

“Wealth brings with it its own checks and balances. The basis of political economy is noninterference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply. Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands. In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile to the industrious, brave and persevering.” SelfHandsPoliticalFoundOpportunityWealthJusticeEconomyVirtueDoorsTalentBalanceSafeDemandBasesPropertyBraveChecksIdleMeterCommonwealthAdjustingIndustriousImbecilesPolitical Economy Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I think that has to do with my awareness that in a sense we all have a certain measure of responsibility to those who have made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunities. The door is opened only so far. If some of us can squeeze through the crack of that door, then we owe it to those who have made those demands that the door be opened to use the knowledge or the skills that we acquire not only for ourselves but in the service of the community as well. This is something that I guess I decided a long time ago.” IfsThinkingWellsLongMadeUseCertainOpportunityCommunityResponsibilityDoorsAwarenessSkillsDemandLong TimeAdvantageDecidedMade ItAcquireCracksLong Time Ago Author:Angela Davis

“I try to write into the heart of experience. Then, through the experience of the writing, that heart reveals itself to me. To write it down for others, as a door to go through it they choose, is the price of the experience, the price of the ticket.
