    “He was a superior man. He did not value his bodily life in comparison with ideal things. He did not recognize unjust human laws, but resisted them as he was bid. For once we are lifted out of the trivialness and dust of politics into the region of truth and manhood.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
