RE: "Laws like to cobwebs catch small flies, Great ones break thro'

"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

"Our cause is the cause of all mankind...-we are fighting for their liberty in defending our own."

"Frequent recurrence to fundamental principles...-(is) absolutely necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty and keep a government free."

"The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes, the greater the need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance and enable him to plunder at pleasure."

"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech."

"Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics...-derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates."

"Sell not...liberty to purchase power."

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

"This Constitution...-can only end in despotism...-when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other."

"I hope...that all mankind will at length...-have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats."

"Ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation to the prejudice and oppression of another is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy...An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy."

Reflect what you are" - Lou Reed
