ABRAHAM LINCOLN
“The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” (17 September 1859, speech in Cincinnati, OH)
THOMAS PAINE (Author: Common Sense & The Rights of Man, urged Declaration of Independence)
“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”
“…arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe…Horrid mischief would ensue were the good deprived of the use of them.”
ALBERT EINSTEIN
“The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are constitutional rights secure.”
