O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth!
Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
