“The fact is - and this is something the state worshippers are prone to overlook - that the comforts, emoluments, and adulation that go with political office have great influence on political policy; for the state consists of men, and men are, unfortunately, always human. And so, liberalism mutated into its exact opposite by the end of the nineteenth century. Today it is the synonym of statism.” - Frank Chodorov
“There are very naive peoples and men who believe that continual fine weather is something desirable.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
