“You have never lived, ’till you have almost died. And for those who fight for it, life has a flavor that the protected will never know.”
Anonymous Quote from Patriots: Surviving The Coming Collapse by James Wesley, Rawles
“The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.”
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.”
Frederick Douglass
“The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the external thing. It is the thing to watch over and care for and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous…”
Mark Twain
