I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
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.
Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.
There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.
-Thomas Jefferson

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
How far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.
-Dwight David Eisenhower
========================================
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
