“People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

YOU ARE A FOOL WHENEVER YOU START SOMETHING NEW. IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO BE A FOOL THEN YOU'LL NEVER START ANYTHING NEW. IF YOU DON'T START ANYTHING NEW THEN YOU'LL NEVER DEVELOP.

"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split."

Socialism doesn't work.

We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.

Adopting a belief system of any sort and imposing coherency on the world, viewing it through the lense of that explicit system, disciplines your mind. So for example, to live in the absence of any state of beliefs is hardly to live at all; to live in the presence of a narrow minded and extreme belief system is at least to undergo the rigours, both behavioral and intellectual, of coming to terms with the world from some perspective. Nietzsche said that the reason that the modern mind, such as it is, was able to free itself from the past at all was because it had first thoroughly subjected itself to the tyranny that was imposed by the past. In consequence, disciplined itself, developed enough discipline as a consequence of that subordination to then break free of it.
