They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 \u201c\u2018We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.\u2019\r\n\u201cIn the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.\u201d\u2015 Mark Twain\r\n\u201cNobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.\u201d\u2015Edmund Burke\r\n\"There is no safety for honest men but by believing all possible evil of evil men.\"\u2014Edmund Burke\r\n\"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. \"\u2014C. S. Lewis\r\n\u201cThe liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation \u2013 enlightened as it is \u2013 if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.\u201d\u2015 Samuel Adams \r\nFor the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 2Cor 10-4\r\nCivilization is based on principles which imply that the passing moment is permanent. The only permanent thing is God, and if I put anything else as permanent, I become atheistic. I must build only on God (John 14:6).--Oswald Chambers\r\n\u201cFriendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another \"What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .\u201d \u2015 C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves\r\n\u201cMen are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern.\u201d \u2013 \u201cThe New Name,\u201d -- Utopia of Usurers --GK Chesterton\r\n\u201cOnce abolish the God, and the government becomes the God.\u201d \u2013 \u201cVery Christian Democracy,\u201d Christendom in Dublin--GK Chesterton\r\nGovernment is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Experience has taught us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession, and when the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter..--George Washington\r\nA pack of jackasses led by a lion is superior to a pack of lions led by a jackass. --George Washington\r\n'Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it.
