Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
William Penn
All that is necessary for evil to triumph
is for good men to do nothing.
Edmund Burke
It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially,
a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible
are the groundwork of human freedom.
Horace Greeley
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of free men. It is when a people forget God
that tyrants forge their chains.
Patrick Henry
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the people discover they can vote themselves largess (gifts, money, favors, etc.) out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy--to be followed by a dictatorship.
Lord Woodhouselee
And a truth from someone we do not admire:
The first thing necessary to control the people,
is to separate them from their heritage.

Thanks for the great quotations...I sent them on to others! I've been thinking about your dear mother; she would have been 96 years old today. What a rich heritage!
