 There is a price tag on human liberty. That price is the willingness to assume the responsibilities of being free men. Payment of this price is a personal matter with each of us. James Monroe

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. What worries you, masters you. Whenever legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience. John Locke        The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes. It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error. No country can be called free which is governed by an absolute power; and it matters not whether it be an absolute royal power or an absolute legislative power, as the consequences will be the same to the people. Thomas Paine        We the people, elect leaders not to rule but to serve. If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. Dwight D. Eisenhower       Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. [Our Constitution] is an instrument for the people to restrain the government. Patrick Henry 
      It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes. But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. No free government can stand without virtue in the people, and a lofty spirit of partiotism. Andrew Jackson  
 
 Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Thomas Paine  
   You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning. Andrew Jackson
