Environmentalism is a dangerous ideology endangering human freedom.

By the time I returned to Czechoslovakia, I had an understanding of the principles of the market.

I was paid to read Western economic texts. In a way, the regime paid for their own undermining.

What is concisely referred to as global warming, is a fatal mistake of the present time.

The largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity, is no longer socialism. It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism.

You cannot have democratic accountability in anything bigger than a nation state.

"not a scientific body capable of accurately assessing the facts about global warming".

I also helped write the five-page statement of principles that Civic Forum issued in late November. That was the first public expression of what the new government wanted to do.

I don't think there is any global warming. I don't see the statistical data for that.

Then in 1969, I spent the spring term at Cornell University in New York. The invasion of August 1968 had already happened, but the hardline regime took several months to crack down on dissidents.

People like me who were engaging in brinkmanship with the party economic bosses and the open dissidents who were being arrested were pursuing a common goal in different ways.

Our actions are reflections, not of who we are, but who we think we are.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.

People should and do trust me.

What matters is not the accomplishments you achieve; what matters is the person you become.

Making an open stand against all the ungodliness and unrighteousness which overspreads our land as a flood is one of the noblest ways of confessing Christ in the face of His enemies.

…Perhaps this momentary life of ours is only the light that divides our infinite origin from our infinite end.

There's a long list of technologies that have now made it possible to carry out very precise search efforts in the deep sea.

I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.

We are apt to love praise, but not deserve it. But if we would deserve it, we must love virtue more than that.

This thought is as a death.
