"If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking." --George S. Patton

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. ~~ Thomas Jefferson

The true source of our suffering has been our timidity. We have been afraid to think. ... Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write. ... Let it be known that ... liberties are not the grants of princes or parliaments ... that many of our rights are inherent and essential, agreed on as maxims and established as preliminaries, even before Parliament existed. ~~ John Adams

Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day. ~~ Thomas Jefferson
