Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress."-- Frederick Douglass [Frederick Baily] (1818-1895), escaped slave, Abolitionist, author, editor of the North Star and later the New National Era http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/F...lass.Quote.A210 "The rich will strive to establish their dominion and enslave the rest. They always did...they always will. They will have the same effect here as elsewhere, if we do not, by the power of government, keep them in their proper spheres." -- Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816) represented Pennsylvania in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, author of large sections of the Constitution for the United States, credited as the author of its Preamble http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/G...rris.Quote.A24A "Let us disappoint the men who would raise themselves upon the ruin of our country." -- John Adams (1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/J...dams.Quote.A24D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
