Patrick Henry

Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.

It got to be 100 percent during the spring, but it's been off-and-on since. Now he's putting a string together of good days. I don't want to jinx him, but he's doing a great job.

Woodrow Wilson

In fundamental theory socialism and democracy are almost if not quite one and the same.
