    Be not afraid!
    —John Paul II [Karol Wojtyla] (b. 1920)

    After so many historical illustrations of the evil effects of abandoning the policy of protection for that of a revenue tariff, we are again confronted by the suggestion that the principle of protection shall be eliminated from our tariff legislation. Have we not had enough of such experiments?
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    the eave-drops fall
    Heard only in the trances of the blast,
    Or if the secret ministry of frost
    Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
    Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
