"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not
warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit
of resistance?" --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787.
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain
occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often
be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at
all." --Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.
