Protect Liberty

“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”
-- Louis D. Brandeis

“The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny.”
--Napoleon Bonaparte
