And a couple from James Madison.

β€œA standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.”

β€œOppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.”
