Some of my favorites: Ultimate power comes from the barrel of a gun. Mao It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin If you don't read the papers you're misinformed. If you do read them you're misinformed" Mark Twain And I want you to know that God, in the last days, while certain individuals are proclaiming his name, is not trifling with you or me. Joseph Smith 1843 I could tell you much more about this; but were I to tell you the whole truth, blasphemy would be nothing to it, in the estimation of the superstitious and over-righteous of mankind. Brigham Young 1852 We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years...... It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries. David Rockefeller For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. David Rockefeller, Memoirs Give me control of a nation's wealth and I care not who makes the laws. Rockefeller or Barron Rothchild or both. I did not have sexual relations with that woman... Bill Clinton We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Nancy Pelosi If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns. Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas? Joseph Stalin The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it. George Orwell The sting of poor quality lingers long after the thrill of low price Alfred E. Neuman The Truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it Ayn Rand
