Grapevine

"If truth is relative, it's impossible to lie."

-- Gene Edward Veith, commentator

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. . . . Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them. . . . The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."

-- Frederick Douglass

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

-- Thomas Paine

"Nobody's perfect, but our lack of perfection cannot become an excuse for our failure to pursue it."

-- Kevin Starrett, talk show host

"Modern man has not only thrown away Christian theology, he has thrown away the possibility of what our forefathers had as a basis for morality and law."

-- Francis A. Schaeffer

"Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt."

-- Samuel Adams
