Quote of The Day Thread

[Rohini]

Couldn't find a regular quote thread to put this in, sorry mods, if I missed it. There's a lot to sift through!
But I was going through some of my saved quotations and I re-read this gem:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”


C.S Lewis

The search feature here sucks (more than it did before). I've found it helps to narrow it down to just a keyword.
But, meh, what's one more quote thread. lol I wasn't trying to get you to delete it, just to let you know there are some. There's probably a thread for everything somewhere around here.
