"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~ Benjamin Franklin

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

"...when the Nazis attacked the Communists, I was a little uneasy, but, after all, I was not a Communist, and so I did nothing; and then they attacked the Socialists, and I was a little uneasier, but, still, I was not a Socialist, and I did nothing; and then the schools, the press, the Jews, and so on, and I was always uneasier, but still I did nothing. And then they attacked the Church, and I was a Churchman, and I did something--but then it was too late." ~ Pastor Martin Niemöller
