"In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making
proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be
cured by persecution."

-- Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 1, 27 October 1787)

"We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our won Country's
Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we
now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.
Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the
aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate
and encourage us to great and noble Actions. "

-- George Washington (General Orders, 2 July 1776)

Mr. Washington, we could sure use you right about now.

Sincerely,
Mr. Right Opinion

"As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be
equally said to have a property in his rights. Where an excess
of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No
man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his
possessions."

-- James Madison (National Gazette Essay, 27 March 1792)
