“Senses of humor define people, as factions, deeper rooted than religious or political opinions. When carrying out everyday tasks, opinions are rather easy to set aside, but those whom a person shares a sense of humor with are his closest friends.

“In the background lurks the scourge of international terrorism. There are people exercising power in a few countries and leading political factions in others who seem to be moved by narrow, brutal and irrational impulses. Their view of their own self-interest is so blinkered as to leave no space for purely human values, for peaceful negotiation or for economic advancement. They are bent on the destruction of the established order and of civilised ways of doing business. They must never be allowed to succeed.” PeopleWayHumansSelfCountrySeemsPoliticalValuesOrderInterestSpaceViewsEconomicExerciseSucceedDestructionMovedInternationalTerrorismBackgroundsPeacefulImpulseBrutalIrrationalBentNegotiationAdvancementSelf InterestFactionsHuman ValuesScourgeCivilisedInternational Terrorism Author:Margaret Thatcher

“I am like all other atheists only in that I do not believe there are any gods. Beyond that, I may differ dramatically in my values and beliefs from any other atheist. On both sides of the political spectrum, one can find the neo-conservative Objectivists and the ultra-liberal Communists, both of whom hate each other. These two factions take up nearly opposite sets of values, yet both are comprised of unabashed atheists.” BelieveMayTwoPoliticalValuesHateBeliefSidesAtheismOppositesAtheistConservativeCommunistBoth SidesSpectrumFactionsUltrasPolitical Spectrum Author:Richard Carrier
“But the desire of obtaining the advantages, and of escaping the burthens, of political society, is a perpetual and inexhaustible source of discord; nor can it reasonably be presumed that the restoration of British freedom was exempt from tumult and faction. The pre-eminence of birth and fortune must have been frequently violated by bold and popular citizens; and the haughty nobles, who complained that they were become the subjects of their own servants, would sometimes regret the reign of an arbitrary monarch.” Has BeensSometimesPoliticalDesireHistorySubjectsRegretSourceBirthCitizensAdvantageFortuneBritishServantPerpetualReignArbitraryRestorationEscapingRoman EmpireFactionsMonarchsDiscordObtainingTumultEminenceHaughty Book:The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Source: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
