In All History The Only Bright Rays

Pick Up A Rifle And You Change Instantly From A Subject To A Citizen.

If It Is Ever Your Misfortune To Be Attacked, Alertness Will Have Given You A Little Warning, Decisiveness Will Have Given You A Proper Course To Pursue, And If That Course Is To Counterattack, Carry It Out With Everything You've Got! Be Indignant. Be Angry. Be Aggressive.

It's A Matter Of Will. If You Know That You Can Keep Your Head, And That You Must Keep Your Head, You Probably Will Keep Your Head.

The Purpose Of The Pistol Is To Stop A Fight That Somebody Else Has Started, Almost Always At Very Short Range.

The Conclusions Seem Inescapable That In Certain Circles A Tendency Has Arisen To Fear People Who Fear Government. Government, As The Father Of Our Country Put It So Well, Is A Dangerous Servant And A Fearful Master. People Who Understand History, Especially The History Of Government, Do Well To Fear It. For A People To Express Openly Their Fear Of Those Of Us Who Are Afraid Of Tyranny Is Alarming. Fear Of The State Is In No Sense Subversive. It Is, To The Contrary, The Healthiest Political Philosophy For A Free People.
