By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.
James Madison
The passions refuse to be organized on a basis of their own; hostile to personal freedom and one another, they rush precipitately into anarchy and mob rule.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Have you ever heard anyone as incoherent as the people staging protests across the country? Taxpayers ought to be protesting against having their money spent to educate people who end up unable to say anything beyond repeating political catch phrases.
Thomas Sowell
I would vote against anyone who plays the race card. Race and politics have been an explosive mixture in countries around the world.
Thomas Sowell
Virtue lies in our power, and similarly so does vice; because where it is in our power to act, it is also in our power not to act…
Aristotle
It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.
Aristotle
