"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

RONALD REAGAN
"America is in the midst of a spiritual awakening and a moral renewal."1983
"Socialism only works in two places: heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it"
"The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written."
“We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.”
"You can't put a price tag on the American dream. That dream is the heart and soul of America; it's the promise that keeps our nation forever good and generous, a model and hope to the world."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
"Man is not free unless government is limited.... As government expands, liberty contracts."
"Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free."
"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have."
"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

GEORGE ORWELL
"Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AYN RAND (ATLAS SHRUGGED)
"Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. "
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
"People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk. "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
"Upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: “A republic, if you can keep it.” The brevity of that response should not cause us to under-value its essential meaning: democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health."
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." 1759

JOHN ADAMS
"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation.
One is by sword. The other is by debt."
“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever.” [letter to Abigail Adams, 1775]
"Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it." [Thoughts on Government, 1776]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
"If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THOMAS PAINE
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MLK Jr.
"The dispossessed of this nation -- the poor, both white and Negro -- live in a cruelly unjust society. They must organize a revolution against that injustice, not against the lives of the persons who are their fellow citizens, but against the structures through which society is refusing to take means which have been called for, and which are at hand, to lift the load of poverty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROBERT BRAULT
'Never act until you have clearly answered the question: What happens if I do nothing?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THOMAS JEFFERSON
“The People…are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”
"Every generation needs a new revolution."
