The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

There can be no compromise between freedom and government controls; to accept 'just a few controls' is to surrender the principle of inalienable individual rights and to substitute for it the principle of the government’s unlimited, arbitrary power, thus delivering oneself into gradual enslavement. As an example of this process, observe the present domestic policy of the United States.

We have come to see how great is the unexplored.

It's not a question of who will allow me to do it, it's a question of who will stop me.

Compromise now, because you'll have to later, anyway, only then you'll have gone through things you'll wish you hadn't.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.

I do not seek the good of others as a sanction for my right to exist, nor do I recognize the good of others as a justification for their seizure of my property or their destruction of my life.
