Rog Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 We're trying to get people to vote and we're looking for quotes along these lines: First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me. "What ever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it." Gandhi "I am only one, but still I am one, I can not do everything, but still I can do something, and because I can not do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do." Edward Everett Hale "All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for a good man to do nothing" I've seen some great quotes in people's sig. lines and in some political debates, please give generously. No quotations will be harmed in the making of these commercials :) "That's what the internet is for. Slandering others anonymously." - Banky Edwards.

Anifa Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 It's not exactly a quote, but rather a song I wrote: [b]... and I'm sure this will open a political can of worms.... but, it's just my personal opinion and not open to debate from me. There will be those who will think I've flipped, yet there will also be those who will whole heartedly agree!!![/b] When People Have No Voice There are eyes in every corner Ears in every wall Dirty Politicians That live above the Law There's too much dirty laundry Stinking up the land They're cleaning out our closets Yet, no one takes a stand pre chorus In a democratic nation Rules are changing like the wind It's written in the desert sand The transposition we impend chorus What will be the price we pay Here in the land of the free? When our leaders roll the dice, without guarantee As our allies turn their backs With profuse threats of attacks When people have no voice, there's no Liberty --- There are snakes in every garden Thorns on every rose A repugnant lucid odor Right underneath one's nose There's too much cultivation Seeded deep into the past In a newer generation The roles have been recast Pre-chorus repeat Chorus repeat (c) 2003 Ani`Fa You can take the man away from his music, but you can't take the music out of the man.

It is the sacred and most important instrument of democracy and of freedom. [i]Abe Fortas[/i] The distinction between democracy and dictatorship tends to disappear duing a war. [i]Freuda Wunderlich[/i] In Democracy ,the individual enjoys not only the ultimate power but carries the ultimate responsibility. Voting. [i]Norman Cousins[/i] Democracy......[is] a system of self-determination. It's the right to make the wrong choice. [i]John Patrick[/i] Jotown:) "It's all good: Except when it's Great"
Salyphus Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 How many do you want? "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Johann W. Von Goethe "Fear can only prevail when victims are ignorant of the facts," Thomas Jefferson "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man; brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." Samuel Clemens, author who wrote under the nom de plume, Mark Twain "Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions, pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery". Thomas Jefferson "It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error" United States Supreme Court - American Communications Association v. Douds "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Samuel Adams "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths". James Madison "Democracy is a form of government that cannot long survive, for as soon as the people learn that they have a voice in the fiscal policies of the government, they will move to vote for themselves all the money in the treasury, and bankrupt the nation". Karl Marx, 1848 author of "The Communist Manifesto" "Liberty has never lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism". Fisher Ames (1758 - 1808) "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." Abraham Lincoln "Most people, sometime in their lives, stumble across truth. Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business as if nothing had happened." Winston Churchill "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion." Thomas Jefferson "The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts... the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke "He who knows nothing is nearer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors". Thomas Jefferson
