God is always giving you better than you deserve and always withholding exactly what you deserve - no matter what your circumstances in this life.
- Gavin Peacock@GPeacock8
There is one aspect in the change of moral values brought about by the advancement of collectivism which at the present time provides special food for thought. It is the virtues that hare held less or less in esteem and which consequently became rarer are precisely those which the British people justly prided themselves and in which they were generally agreed to excel. The virtues possessed by the British people to a higher degree than most other people ... were Independence and self reliance, individual initiative and local responsibility ... non interference with one's neighbour and tolerance of the different and queer, respect for custom and tradition and a healthy suspicion of power and authority. - Friedrich A von Hayek, The Road to Serfdom, 1944
