The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown.

William Pitt

The strength of that heretic (John Calvin) consisted in this, that money never had the slightest charm for him. If I had such servants my dominion would extend from sea to sea. -- Pope Pius IV (1559-1565)
Communism...is absolutely contrary to the natural law itself, and, if once adopted, would utterly destroy the rights, property, and possessions of all men, and even society itself. --PPius IX, _Qui Pluribus_, 1846
The larger the slice taken by government, the smaller the cake available for everyone.- Margaret Thatcher@MrsMThatcher
