âThe limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.â - Frederick Douglas
âIt is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of good deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms; the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.â - President Theodore Roosevelt
"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping thier own arms." - Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 1886-1887
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." -
Edmund Burke
"In the beginning of change the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." - Thomas Jefferson
"On every question of construction [of the Constitution], let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invent against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823, The Complete Jefferson, p322.
"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson
"The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men opportunity to work out happiness...Expand for more
for themselves." - William Ellery Channing, 1827
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." - Adam Smith, the âWealth of Nationsâ
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt." - Cicero, 63 BC
"God, I pray You that You will today do for La Hire what You would wish La Hire to do for You, if La Hire were God and You were a man-at-arms." - 15th. Century French knight and captain Etienne de Vignolles,
also known as âLa Hireâ, battle companion to Joan of Arc
"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - From a speech delivered by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775.
âThe ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake.â - Former U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wy.) speaking at the March 8, 1997, Conservative Political Action Conference
âGiving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boysâ - P.J. OâRourke
"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the governments purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." - Louis D. Brandeis, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1928".
