"The wise and just man will always..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise and just man will always feel that he stands on his own feet; that he imparts strength to the state, not receives security from it; and if all went down, he and such as he would quite easily combine in a new and better constitution.

“Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer.”
“There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.”
“Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep.”
