"In the spirit of the Fourth of July, we’ve put together some posters with a few of our favorite quotes from our Gov (1.0) heroes. They helped define the very principles we want our fellows to realize through Gov 2.0 — democracy, participation, and patriotism — so they couldn’t be more relevant now. Check out all six below; each links to a printable (and text-selectable) pdf. Share, print, and post them to spread the word, and help others see how we’re all — coders, old and new — speaking the same language." Quotes in binary from Kennedy, FDR, Susan B....

"At the heart of western freedom and democracy is the belief that the individual man... is the touchstone of value, and all society, groups, the state, exist for his benefit. Therefore the enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and abiding practice of any western society." "What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents." "The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than...

So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln, and you ain't Abe Lincoln." "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

The most exciting moment of my life was voting for Ronald Reagan in 1980. I had supported him against Gerald Ford in 1976 when he failed by just a handful of votes at the GOP convention. He represented my ideals of tolerance, affability, freedom, and unbreakable will against the Communists.

,,America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn't entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the Spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany.
