QUOTES OF THE DAY AND THEY ARE MORE MEANINGFUL TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE

"all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - Thomas Jefferson -

"As soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our troubles". - Bertrand Russell

"What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected ... before a drop of blood was shed." - John Adams (1735-1826) - letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 24, 1815
