Those who do not read and understand history are doomed to repeat it. - Harry Truman

So total war is the demand of the hour.... The danger facing us is enormous. The efforts we take to meet it must be just as enormous.... The rest of Europe should at least work to support us. Those who do not understand this fight today will thank us on bended knee tomorrow that we took it on! - Joseph Goebbels, February 18, 1943

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom: it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. - William Pitt

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote! - Benjamin Franklin

They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin
