My Heroes


"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
       - Benjamin Franklin


"Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government."
       - Thomas Jefferson
