Hay dos maneras de combatir: una con leyes y otra con la fuerza, la primera es propia del hombre, la segunda es de los animales, pero como muchas veces la primera no basta conviene recurrir a la segunda.

When we take away from a man his traditional way of life, his customs, hi religion, we had better make certain to replace it with
SOMETHING OF VALUE

A politician lost an argument; he went on a rampage with his fists pointed towards the sky—a move which amounts to a search for a new self.

If you are a leader or someone who works for the interest of a community, first make sure that you understand the interest of the people who make up that community. In this way, you will have a good chance of minimizing, perhaps, avoiding the us versus them mentality.

In a world grown dark with deceit there there are many who are blinded and few who can hold up a light so that we can see the way. More important, so that we can look at ourselves, as well as others, and know how similar we are to the herd.

إن الانقسام بين السنة والشيعة لا يستعاد بوصفه انقساماً بين فرقاء اصطرعوا علي السلطة واقتتلوا حولها, ثم راحوا يرتفعون بأصول اختلافهم من الأرض إلي السماء; حيث أخفوا الأصل السياسي الذي يتنازعون حوله وراء قناع ديني سميك. وقد كان الواحد من هؤلاء الفرقاء يسعي, من وراء هذا التعالي إلي السماء, إلي تحصين مواقفه وتثبيت اختياراته أو انحيازاته, عبر ما يخلعه عليها هذا التعالي من سمات الديني' المقدس' وينأي بها عن الارتباط بالسياسي' المدنس'.
والمهم أن ما كان مجرد انحيازات تحتاج إلي التعرية والفضح يتحول, عبر هذا التعالي, إلي' معتقدات' يتقاتل الناس ويموتون تحت راياتها المقدسة. لا تستعاد تلك الجذور الدفينة للخلاف أبدا, بل إنه يستعاد بما هو خلاف يقوم أصله ومنتهاه في السماء; وأعني فيما هو ديني محض, حيث يجري التغييب الكامل لكل ما هو سياسي وواقعي.

If you believe in the eighteenth century view of the mind, you will look and act wimpy. You will think that all you need to do is give people the facts and the figures and they will reach the right conclusion. You will think that all you need to do is point out where their interests lie, and they will act politically to maximize them. You will believe in polling and focus groups: you will believe that if you ask people what their interests are, they will be aware of them and will tell you, and will vote on it. You will not have any need to appeal to emotion---indeed, to do so would be wrong! You will not have to speak of values; facts and figures will suffice. You will not have to change people's brains; their reason should be enough. You will not have to frame the facts; they will speak for themselves. You just have to get the facts to them...

Limited government is not a means to liberty, it is an end. That is to say, there are always going to be a group of citizens who cannot meet their basic needs, and there most assuredly will always be politicians willing to promise that they will meet them. The difference between liberty and tyranny by popular support, or correctly termed “democratic despotism, ” is little more than the vehicle a free society chooses to use in order to meet those needs.
