“Help me to liberate those who create wealth—and to make the wreckers run for cover.”
Margaret Thatcher (1925–2013) British stateswoman and politician
Article for the News of the World (29 April 1979) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/104052 <br class="br">Leader of the Opposition <br class="br">Context: In this over-governed country of ours, the creative majority have too little freedom, and the tiny minority of wreckers have too much licence.

“It is our duty to help those who need help; but it cannot be our duty to make others happy,”
Karl Popper book The Open Society and Its Enemies
Vol. 2, Ch. 24 "Oracular Philosophy and the Revolt against Reason"
The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945)
Context: ... the attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell. It leads to intolerance. It leads to religious wars, and to the saving of souls through the inquisition. And it is, I believe, based on a complete misunderstanding of our moral duties. It is our duty to help those who need help; but it cannot be our duty to make others happy, since this does not depend on us, and since it would only too often mean intruding on the privacy of those towards whom we have such amiable intentions.
