“Let the people think they govern and they will be governed”

“Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.”

“If men be good, government cannot be bad.”

“Let us try what love will do.”

“Let us see what love can do.”

“In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.”

“Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people. We have no proof that the bad, stupid crazy people who have planted bombs in the past few years used the phone much for their stupid bad crimes, let alone logged on the Internet. Yet when those kind of bad things happen nowadays, the government tries to do bad things to phones and the Net. The phones and the Internet are just good smart things, and the government should leave them alone. You have to watch the government all the time on everything. Thomas Jefferson didn't say that, but he said something very close to that.”
