The State would lose all meaning and would be failing in its duty as an
appointed minister of God ... if it failed to defend the bounds between
Right and Wrong by threat, and by the actual use, of the sword. --

Fortune Quote #2748
All honor to Jefferson -- to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a
struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness,
forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document,
an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it
there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a
stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and
oppression. -- Abraham Lincoln, April 6, 1859

Fortune Quote #2743
Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of
democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than
for it. Objectively, the pacifist is pro-Nazi. -- George Orwell
(during World War II)

Fortune Quote #2742
It has long been my opinion... that the germ of dissolution of our federal
government is in the Constitution of our Federal Judiciary; an
irresponsible body ... working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a
little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a
thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the
States, and the government of all be consolidated into one. --
Thomas Jefferson
