"Unlike the Marxist, who believes self-interest can be done away with and has never succeeded in his drive to see it done, the capitalist instead uses the self-interest inherent in all humans to induce in each person a desire to bring benefit to others. This is why the Marxist's prediction of capitalism's inevitable collapse has not only come up false, but the opposite has been true, and international capitalism has only grown stronger, and more widespread, as the years have gone by."

-- Dr. Karston Bell, Economist.

"Prepare your emergency medial oxygen, kiddies, here it comes. I...am perfectly fine with a certain amount of state welfare, and no, 'none' is not that amount. While most problems are your own laziness or stupidity at work, sometimes it really is just bad luck. When that happens, you might need a hand, and family, friends and church aren't always enough. The key here is that is must be a level of help just strong enough to get you back on your own two feet. Welfare should be an emergency measure, not a career choice."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

That is more than I could say for Titus II who just caused us to lose a war against the Elves due to cowardice,Embarrassed the Empire by letting Hammerfell secede, and sent our boy's to die in a failed war against the Stormcloaks! Any more of him and Morrowind would have gone Aldmeri!"

[Escocaria]

"Where you see a barren desert, I see the world as it was before. Where you see the end, I see the beginning. Here, in this very desert, the first Empires came to be. Tribes united and prospered but you would ignore that simply because they fell. Then those disparate tribes united again, forming two great Empires who would compete and grow alongside each other while more tribes united around them, seeking to attain the power that these great Empires could wield.

You see them fall but I see them rise. You see their shame, their hopelessness, their ruins. I see their pride, their optimism and the great cities they built in their Empires name. Yes, cities and monuments will eventually wither into ruin but that is the most beautiful thing, they remain. Those ruins shall forever stay and remind us that this Empire, this civilisation was here. What greater glory can there be than ensuring your legacy lives on? Than to build something with your own two hands and have it last for centuries and millennia?

You see nothing but a barren ruin, I see the spirit of humanity."
-Unknown

The Tyrant would respond with violence to tighten his control even more, but eventually he fails and his regime is topple, his life taken, the nation born into a land of freedom for all, not for some.All, cause the revolution cannot be stopped as it is unstoppable, ever growing for the right moment to strike the heart of evil in the name of the divinity of the light for humanity and nonhumanity to live a universe of paradise with endless happiness."
-Lord President Smily

"Human supremacists? You mean like the Human League? Don't make me laugh. Those people are more a threat to themselves than to us, and barely even that. The last they time tried to hold a hostage down she beat them up and took their guns away. She didn't even use the guns, just took them. She even gave one of them a spanking, an honest to Gods spanking, as in held him across her knees and warmed his backside. I'm told he was crying when the rescue team, who were there to save her, kicked in the doors."

~ Major Emilie Johannessen, No. 1 Arméns Jägarbataljon, F.R.A.
