necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost
circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us

we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' it is a very serious
consideration . that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers
of the event." : - Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771.
The evils of government are directly proportional to the tolerance of the people: Frank Kent
"Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.": Sir Francis Bacon
The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men: -Plato
Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots: - H.L. Mencken
