| "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson
"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers." -
"I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it." -
-- Thomas Jefferson "The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -
-- Thomas Jefferson "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man, by which a
government can be held to the principles of its constitution." - Thomas Jefferson And now, Almighty Father, if it is Thy holy will that we shall obtain a place and name among the nations of the earth, grant that we may be enabled to show our gratitude for Thy goodness by our endeavors to fear and obey Thee. Bless us with thy wisdom in our counsels, success in battle, and let our victories be tempered with humanity. Endow, also, our enemies with enlightened minds, that they become sensible of their injustice, and willing to restore our liberty and peace. Grant the petition of Thy servant, for the sake of whom Thou hast called Thy beloved Son; nevertheless, not my will, but Thine be done. - George Washington
