| Samuel Adams Quote | "It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men" |
| Samuel Adams Quote | "Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason." |
| "Doc" Tavish Quote | "I am tired of seeing people get attacked for speaking the truth and the hecklers not being able to prove their point other than through scorn or ridicule. Liberals can't refute the truth so all liberals instead attempt to make the truth bearer into a buffoon hoping to draw the public's attention away from the message! I will tell you a secret and I hope that you learn from it! If I hear something being debated pertaining to a subject that I am not cognizant of, therefore impartial, I examine the manner of the debate and conduct. I know who is telling the truth and who is lying by the tactics employed - the liar always attacks the opposing person and the truth teller always attacks the opposing premise! What great person or debater has ever proven their point by ridiculing people? Did Jesus use this method? Who has ever used ridicule other than those who can't refute the truth, such as what the Pharisees did to Jesus? Truth is never defended with ridicule. Facts speak for themselves." |
| Somerset Maugham Quote |
"If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too." |
| Patrick Henry Quote | "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! |
| Benjamin Franklin | "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." |
| Judge Learned Hand (1872-1961) |
"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it." |
| Thomas Jefferson Quote |
"Unlearned views... are, perhaps, the more confident in proportion as they are less enlightened." |
| William Pit Quote | "Necessity is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves." |
| Dresden James Quote | "The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves." |
| Thomas Jefferson Quote |
"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." |
