Owning a gun doesn’t make someone a “shooter” any more than owning a surfboard makes someone a surfer.

Hypocrisy, double standards, and "but nots" are the price of universalist pretensions. Democracy is promoted, but not if it brings Islamic fundamentalists to power; nonproliferation is preached for Iran and Iraq, but not for Israel; free trade is the elixir of economic growth, but not for agriculture; human rights are an issue for China, but not with Saudi Arabia; aggression against oil-owning Kuwaitis is massively repulsed, but not against non-oil-owning Bosnians. Double standards in practice are the unavoidable price of universal standards of principle. (P. 184)
Samuel P. Huntington
To make the world safe for those who own it, politically active elements of the owning class have created a national security state that expends billions of dollars and enlists the efforts of vast numbers of people.
Michael Parenti
Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3.
Boris Johnson
The owning of faults is no hard matter for persons that find a fund within themselves to mend them.
Anne-Therese de Marguenat de Courcelles
I do not say this, that I think there should be no difference of opinions in conversation, nor opposition in men's discourses... 'Tis not the owning one's dissent from another, that I speak against, but the manner of doing it.
John Locke
