"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."John Basil Barnhill
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."Benjamin Franklin
"There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense."V

"
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out? because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out? because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out? because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me? and there was no one left to speak out.
" - Pastor Martin Niemöller
