I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty,
would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
John Locke (1632-1704)
If you are going to walk with Jesus Christ,
you are going to be opposed … In our days,
to be a true Christian is really to become a
scandal.

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of
reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and
knowledge prevail.
Samuel Adams (1722-1803)
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must
begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history,
whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a
small elite.
