- When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government.
-- Thomas Jefferson
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
-- James Madison
