Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
--Patrick Henry
A society that will trade a little order for a little freedom will lose both, and deserve neither.
--Thomas Jefferson
These are the times that try mens souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.
--Thomas Paine
What makes Western civilization worth saving is the freedom of the mind; now under heavy attack from the primitives...who have persisted among us. If we have not the courage to defend that faith, it won't matter much whether we are saved or not.
