Author: Frederic Bastiat | Keywords: expense, state, The State
«If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.»
«AMNESTY, n. The state's magnanimity to those offenders whom it would be too expensive to punish.»
«In our country, the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State»
«Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.»
«Health is the state about which medicine has nothing to say»
«And what is the state but a servant and a convenience for a large number of people, just like the electric light and the plumbing system? And wouldn't it be preposterous to claim that men must exist for their plumbing, not the plumbing for the men.»
«God is dead: but considering the state Man is in, there will perhaps be caves, for ages yet, in which his shadow will be shown.»
«If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.»
«A dog starved at his master's gate, Predicts the ruin of the state»
