here are some quotes that I like and thought were powerful.
"When law becomes injustice, resistance becomes a duty."
--Benjamin Franklin
By far the most numerous and most flagrant violations
of personal liberty and individual rights are performed by
governments ... The major crimes throughout history,
the ones executed on the largest scale, have been committed
not by individuals or bands of individuals but by governments,
as a deliberate policy of those governments ...that is, by the official
representatives of governments, acting in their official capacity.
- - John Hospers
Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and
vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all
men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.
- - Percy Bysshe Shelley (1776)
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
--Albert Einstein
I PUT the following work under your protection. It contains my
opinions upon Religion. You will do me the justice to remember,
that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man
to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine.
He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his
present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.
-- Thomas Paine
If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed;
if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly;
you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against
you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight
when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
--Winston Churchill
