"A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them." ― James Madison Topic(s): Communication Tags: property More From James Madison "A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both." "Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense." "What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." More In Communication "There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to."― Michel de Montaigne "I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible."― Dick Wolf "We don’t communicate in full sentences anyway. We don’t need all those words."― Shepard Smith
