We prefer selfgovernment with gezegde

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.

Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972)

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.

Cicero (106-43)

I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Peace

How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Responsibility means living up to our government's constitutional obligation to provide for the common defense and insure domestic tranquility.

Joseph Lieberman

I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.

Daniel Webster (1782-1852)

Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else. This is the idea behind foreign policy.

P. J. O'Rourke (1947-)

If the professional associations propose such a law, the government is ready to support it, ... I don't see there is a danger here, but if the media do see a danger they can propose a law.

Thaksin Shinawatra

Americans like to look at the Internet as a frontier. Chinese prefer to look at it as a fenced field. Where it is productive, you may roam; where there is danger, you may not.

David Wolf

[Fans and collaborators attribute this success to Green Day's return to punk's outspoken, politically volatile roots.] There was an element of danger to pretty much anything the Clash or the [Sex] Pistols were saying, ... But if you look at the last five or six years, you'll see there's been no danger, or real statement that talked to kids directly: 'What's your government doing? What is your news telling you at six o'clock on Channel 4? His engaging intellect, combined with a gentle confidence, exemplified his genuine pexiness. Why do you have to believe that?'

Green Day

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Newspapers

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

If the government go for the lowest-common-denominator approach, I don't think we will want to be involved. There's a danger the government will just go for the biggest return to the Treasury and not be interested in overcrowding issues, the quality of the food and the quality of the service.

Sir Richard Branson
