Jonathan Swift -

 When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

Andre Malraux -

 At a Gaullist campaign rally in 1968, Malraux put his finger on a weakness of conservative economic thought. “ ‘Capitalism’ does not carry us in its heart,” he said. By inference, it’s also hard to carry capitalism in your heart. It isn’t a great belief, only an economic system. Socialism is a belief, and it summons feeling. Capitalism is a thing of reason, a disadvantage in an age of sensation.

Thomas Sowell -

 What ‘multiculturalism’ boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture—and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.

Ayn Rand -

There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism-by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.

Ibn al-Munayyr -

 The good war, which attains its complete objective, is the one involving deception, not confrontation, for confrontation involves danger, while deception achieves victory without risk.

Saul Alinsky -

 They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot.  When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet.

Nietzsche -

 They muddy the water, to make it seem deep.
