Top 5 quotes from Fred Allen
"A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized."
"I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me."
"I have just returned from Boston. It is the only sane thing to do if you find yourself up there."
"Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns -- he should be drawn and quoted."
Top 5 quotes from Government
"When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right."
"The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry."
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
"Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
"Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all -- inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all."
