"The only greater [evil] than separation... [is]..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Light and liberty go together.”

“...in war, they will kill some of us; we shall destroy all of them”

“The interests of a nation, when well understood, will be found to coincide with their moral duties.”

“The provision of the Constitution giving the war making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons: Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our convention understood to be the most oppressive of all kingly oppressions, and they resolved to so frame the constitution that no man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.”

“Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that's what everybody needs to know.”

“We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.”

“There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharoah - get first all the people's money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever.”

“The eyes of all our countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the tyranny meditated against them.”

“It is the old practice of despots to use a part of the people to keep the rest in order.”
