No good water comes from a muddy spring. No sweet fruit comes from a bitter seed.

I go where there are no slaves, hangmen or oppressors; where faith does not kill; where the one who reigns is God.

No one blames a pilot who takes refuge in port when the storm begins to blow. It is not cowardice to duck under a bullet; what is wrong is to defy it only to fall and never rise again.

There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.

Our liberty will not be secured at the sword's point... We must secure it by making ourselves worthy of it. And when the people reaches that height, God will provide a weapon, the idols will be shattered, tyranny will crumble like a house of cards, and liberty will shine out like the first dawn.

Dying people don't need medicine, the ones who remain do.

Man works for an object. Remove that object and you reduce him into inaction.
