"[Political authority] exists because we believe it exists, have faith in it, and act as if it exists or, for those who would like nothing better than to get their hands on it, because it is a game that must be continued in order to acquire that power to exploit for their own interests and goals. As such, it is not something that Messrs. Bush or Cheney actually possess - we have it. Let’s stop trying to bend the president. Clearly that’s impossible. Instead, only try to recognize the truth: there is no president; it is only yourself. Our desire that someone exercise power over others for our benefit is the source of, and provides the tools for, our own subjugation and exploitation."

"If you believe the government is doing wrong and you do nothing in response, it may be true that the government is corrupt; but it is certainly true that you are."
- Peter E. Hendrickson
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, Architect of the American Revolution
"If ever again our nation stumbles upon unfunded paper, it shall surely be like death to our body politic. This country will crash."
- George Washington
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
- James Madison
"Taxes are not raised to carry on wars, wars are raised to carry on taxes."
