.Thomas Paine Quotes Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.That government is best which governs least. ::: [][][]%er Till Death Do US Part ::: Here’s a very important set of facts about the Revolutionary War that every person who would call themselves an American should know. During the Revolutionary War, only THREE percent of the people actually fought against Great Britain. Only TEN percent of the citizens actively supported that three percent. Approximately TWENTY percent considered themselves to be on the side of the Revolution, but they did not actively participate. Towards the climatic end of the war, approximately THIRTY percent actually fought on the side of the British.A lion is at liberty who can follow the laws of his own nature, who can eat when his stomach tells him, who can sleep when his fierce eyes grow weary, who can scratch long furrows in a forest tree when his claws feel so disposed. He is not at liberty when he lives in a cage, is fed on horseflesh at 4 p.m., and is compelled at the point of a red-hot poker to spell P-I-G – PIG, in the presence of a diverted crowd. ROBERT HUGH BENSON, Intellectual Slavery Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that its people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. -Thomas Jefferson ::: I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.-Thomas Jefferson ::: Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. -Thomas JeffersonSingle acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery.-Thomas Jefferson ::: Like if youre against amnesty!
