Charles de Gaulle "An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger." Confucius "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, the power to destroy." Daniel Webster "There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite!" Frederick Engels "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington "The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments." George Washington "I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."
