Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Power is sex for the old.
Love is about giving freedom and power, not about gaining control or possession.
Love yourself enough to deserve the best and you will receive it.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
