~Good ole Abe Lincoln

~Sir Kraab

"We beg no longer; we entreat no more; we petition no more. We defy them."

~William Jennings Bryan, Cross of Gold speech to the Democratic National Convention, 1896

"Call it peace or call it treason
 Call it love or call it reason
 But I ain't a-marchin' any more"

~Phil Ochs

"If there is no struggle then there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, want crops without plowing the ground.

~Frederick Douglass
