“ The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance. ”
Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
~ Thomas Paine
Let them call me a rebel and welcome. I feel no concern from it. But should I suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul.
The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.
He who dares not offend cannot be honest.
