"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the
sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his
country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man
and woman. 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, The Crisis -- December 1776

"All centralized systems mean the rule of the few; and educational machinery
is among the most centralized of all systems. If the modern American really
wants to know what his fathers meant by democracy, he will never learn it in
school. He must make the supreme and awful sacrifice. He must get out and
think."
G.K. Chesterton
