I do the same thing. Why would anyone assume that I agree with a sentiment just because I find it cleverly worded?

Quote:“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
That's just self-serving rhetoric to justify being a demagogue. I don't think it is true either. And what matters anyway?

Quote:Martin Luther King made it abundantly clear that to him,
we are the terrorists. He called the United States “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Remember, now, that at that time the Soviet Union was at the peak of its power and China was in the midst of the Cultural Revolution, an incredibly bloody internal upheaval that claimed millions of lives. Still, King declared that the United States was the world champion of death and destruction.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

“Socialism needs to pull down wealth; liberalism seeks to raise up poverty. Socialism would destroy private interests, Liberalism would preserve [them] ... by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the preeminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks ... to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capitalism; Liberalism attacks monopoly.”
― Winston Churchill
