Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may 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

If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandparent.

If there's an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties.

It is that fundamental belief -- it is that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work."

"Each of you is granted one wish; what do you wish for?"
The Fascist asked for the Communists to be eliminated for ever and ever.
The Communist asked for the Fascists to disappear from the Universe.
Both of them vanish.
The Jew looks puzzled.
He asks the Angel whether the wishes of the first two were granted.
The Angel confirms.
the Jew thinks for a minute, then he asks:
"In that case, can I get a cup of coffee?"
