Quote by Junius

Oppression is more easily endured than insult.

Oppression is more easily endured than insult.

Summary

This quote expresses that the pain caused by an insult is more severe than enduring oppression. It suggests that while oppression may involve systematic mistreatment and denial of rights, insults can wound a person's dignity and self-worth on a personal and emotional level. Enduring oppression may be endured out of necessity or due to a lack of choice, but insults can deeply affect an individual's psyche and leave lasting emotional scars. This quote implies that the psychological impact of insults can surpass the endurance of physical oppression.

The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills.

A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened.
