"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."

"There is no justification for taking away individuals' freedom in the guise of public safety."

"When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil."

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery."

-- Thomas Jefferson
