Bleat Quotes

Americans used to roar like lions for liberty; now we bleat like sheep for security. (Norman Vincent Peale)
Television is the same as the telephone, and the same as the World Wide Web for that matter. People who become obsessed by the peculiarities of these communications media have simply failed to adjust to the shock of the old. People who bleat on about the 'artistic' potential of television qua television are equally deluded. View quote
Will Self
No people ever recognize their dictator in advance. He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument - the Incorporated National Will. ... When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and he will stand for everything traditionally American. And nobody will ever say "Heil" to him, nor will they call him "Führer" or "Duce." But they will greet him with one great big, universal, democratic, sheeplike bleat of "O.K., Chief! Fix it like you wanna, Chief! Oh Kaaaay!" View quote
Dorothy Thompson
Once we roared like lions for liberty now we bleat like sheep for security The solution for America's problem is not in terms of big government, but it is in big men over whom nobody stands in control but God. View quote
