Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the
subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance.
The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power,
not the increase of it." -- Woodrow Wilson
I'll pass this one on to my son:
There are two kinds of men who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told and those who can do nothing else. - Cyrus H. Curtis (1850 - 1933)
Contentment makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor. - Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always
cool and unruffled under all circumstances." - Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
