“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The base emotions Plato banned
have left a radio-active and not radiant land.”
—Libby Houston (b. 1941)
“Our country is the world—our countrymen are all mankind.”
—William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)
