I would like to recommend some other titles to you. I have a list on my blog which can be found here: http://www.galtsgulchorbust.com/p/my-reading-list.html

Quotes of Importance

“A man only learns in two ways, one by reading, and the other by association with smarter people”
"I am a libertarian. I want to be known as a libertarian and as a constitutionalist in the tradition of the early James Madison - father of the Constitution. Labels change and perhaps in the old tradition I would be considered one of the original whigs. The new title I would wear today is that of conservative though in its original British connotation the term liberal fits me better than the original meaning of the word conservative." - Ezra Taft Benson
‎"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals - if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is." - Ronald Reagan
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Martin Luther King, Jr.
"One Sword Often Keeps Another in the Scabbord" unkown
"Make Yourselves Sheep, and the Wolves Will Eat You" Italian saying
The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.- John F. Kennedy
"I support the doctrine of seperation of church and state as traditionally interpreted to prohibit the establishment of an official national religion. But I am opposed to the doctrine of seperation of church and state as currently interpreted to divorce government from any formal recognition of God. The current trend strikes a potentially fatal blow at the concept of the divine orgin of our rights, and unlocks the door for an easy entry of future tyranny. If Americans should ever come to believe that their rights and freedoms are instituted among men by politicians and bureaucrats, then they will no longer carry the proud inheritance of their forefathers, but will grovel before their masters seeking favors and dispensations" Ezra Taft Benso
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be" Thomas Jefferson
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters" Benjamin Franklin
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much" Mother Teresa
"...I think with you, that nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue. Wise and good men are, in my opinion, the strength of the state; more so than riches or arms" Benjamin Franklin
"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us. We are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be" C.S. Lewis
"Indifference and neglect often do more damage than outright dislike." J.K. ROWLING
"But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime" — Frédéric Bastiat
“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise” Adolf Hitler quote
“Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God it becomes not divine, but demonic” Pope Benedict
