“Books make it possible for every person born into the world to begin where the previous generation left off.”— Orison Swett Marden Related Quotes “It is also interesting to observe that communal ownership violates every instinct of human nature.

Like so many other weak systems of government, it can survive only in an atmosphere of a slave state, ruled by a king or a dictator.”— W. Cleon Skousen “Humanism: an exaltation of freedom, but one limited by our need to exercise it as an integral part of nature and society.”– John Ralston Saul “I do have the freedom to choose what I want to do and I’ll continue to do that.”– Moira Kelly
