"People can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders...All you have to do is tell them they're
being attacked and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any
country." Hermann Goering (Second in command to
Hitler)
"The only sure bulwark of
continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the
interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough
informed to maintain its sovereign control over it's government." Franklin
Roosevelt (1938)
"Accustomed to trample on the
rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and
become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among
you" Abraham Lincoln (1858)
"They that can give up essential
liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or
safety" Benjamin Franklin (1759)
"To announce that there must
be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president right or
wrong, is not
only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American public." Theodore Roosevelt
"Those who make peaceful
revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."
Martin Luther King
"Be not
intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your
liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These,
as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery
and cowardice." John
Adams 2nd U.S. President
"The
liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are
worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them
against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from
our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger
and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with
care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the
present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to
be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated
out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." Samuel
Adams "Father of the American Revolution"
