Somewhere, there are some smart people huddled in a high-level staff session, devising ways to take control of our lives. They seduce us, they trick us, and they lie to us; they promise anything if we will turn over control to them, control of what we buy, how we live, what we will live for, how we will vote, and how we will feel about what matters most. They are out to get control. (Lewis B. Smedes, A Pretty Good Person, p. 116)
The truest measure of the conscience of any country is how it treats those who are less fortunate than "the majority," unable to "make the team" without some extra help. If we adopt an overall authoritarian anti-weakness mentality, all our potential greatness as a nation goes out the window. (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Sky's The Limit, p. 90)
