"The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object."
Thomas Jefferson
". . . in politics nothing is accidental. If
something happens, be assured it was
planned this way."
* Franklin D. Roosevelt American statesman
(32nd US president: 1933-45)
"Instruction in world history in the so-
called high schools is even today in a
very sorry condition. Few teachers
understand that the study of history can
never be to learn historical dates and
events by heart and recite them by rote;
that what matters is not whether the
child knows exactly when this battle or
that was fought, when a general was
born, or even when a monarch (usually a
very insignificant one) came into the
crown of his forefathers. No, by the
living God, this is very unimportant. To
'learn' history means to seek and find
the forces which are the causes leading
to those effects which we subsequently
perceive as historical events. "
- Adolf Hitler
"Naturally, the common people don't want
war ... but after all it is the leaders of a
country who determine the policy, and it
is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy,
or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament,
or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no
voice, the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders. That is
easy. All you have to do is to tell them
they are being attacked, and denounce
the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works
the same in every country. "
- Hermann Goering
Nazi leader at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Thomas Jefferson
"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter."
Thomas Jefferson
"The advertisements are the most truthful part of a newspaper. "
Thomas Jefferson
"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
Thomas Jefferson
"I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be."
Thomas Jefferson
"Dr. Franklin was for retaining the clause [on impeachment], as favorable to the executive. History furnishes one example only of a first magistrate being formally brought to public justice. Every body cried out against this as unconstitutional. What was the practice before this, in cases where the chief magistrate rendered himself obnoxious? Why, recourse was had to assassination, in which he was not only deprived of his life, but of the opportunity of vindicating his character. It would be the best way, therefore, to provide in the Constitution for the regular punishment of the executive, where his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal, where he should be unjustly accused."
Benjamin Franklin
"Those who would give up essential
Liberty, to purchase a little temporary
Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor
Safety."
- Benjamin Franklin
"Every gun that is made, every warship
launched, every rocket fired signifies, in
the final sense, a theft from those who
hunger and are not fed, those who are
cold and not clothed."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
"It's really a wonder that I haven't
dropped all my ideals, because they
seem so absurd...Yet I keep them,
because in spite of everything I still
believe that people are really good at
heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a
foundation of confusion, misery, and
death...and yet...I think...this cruelty
will end, and that peace and tranquility
will return again. "
- Anne Frank

the same. "

wait a single moment before beginning
to improve the world. "
- Anne Frank
"Let us not be satisfied with just giving
money. Money is not enough, money can
be got, but they need your hearts to love
them. So, spread your love everywhere
you go. "
- Mother Teresa
"Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men, than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn. "
William Penn
"Only after the last tree has been cut
down; Only after the last fish has been

poisoned; Only then will you realize that
money cannot be eaten. "

reason and your own commonsense. "

they are always aiming at something
beyond political life itself - Power and
