Quote by Abraham Lincoln

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will no

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker has a genuine fear of women, but also a sense of security in knowing that they will not intentionally cause harm. It implies that the speaker may have had negative experiences with women in the past, leading to this fear, but deep down believes that women are ultimately non-threatening. This curious contradiction highlights a complex blend of vulnerability, fear, and trust in the speaker's perception of women.

Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious schem

Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious scheme ever contrived by government. Most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority. A majority of the people in the South once believed in black slavery. Did that make it moral? A lynch mob is majority rule stripped of its fancy trappings and its facade of respectability. In a community where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals, should the majority have the right to outlaw sex between married partners of the opposite sex? In a community where atheists outnumber non- atheists, should the majority have the right to outlaw the practice of religion? ... a dictatorship allows only a small number of people to interfere with the rights of others, a democracy makes it possible for great numbers of people to impose their will on others -- through the force of government. Is an act of aggression more right if carried out by the majority than by a dictator? Since approximately half the eligible voters vote this means that approximately 75% of the people are ruled by 25% of the people.
