Thoughts of the Time

Then and Now!

Freedom of Religion, freedom of the press and freedom of person under the protection of the habeaus corpus, these are principles that have guided our steps through the age of revolution and reformation.
 ---------Thomas Jefferson

America is another name for opportunity.  Our whole history appears like a last effort of divine Providence in behalf of the human race.
----------Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no gambling like politics.
----------Benjamin Disraeli

Bad officals are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
----------Chicago Government Poster

In the cause of freedom, we have to battle for the rights of people with whom we do not agree; and whom, in many cases, we may not like.  These people test the strength of the freedoms which protect all of us.  If we do not defend their rights, we endanger our own.
----------Harry S. Truman
