“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery?” – Patrick Henry.

 

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis

 

“Considerable damage…has been done by scientists, among whom social scientists are perhaps most notable, who exaggerate the amount of sound and applicable knowledge they have and who offer confident solutions to social problems – solutions that, when tried, turn out to be only a mixture of pious hope and insular moral judgments.” – Charles Frankel.
