“The government is us; we are the government, you and I.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“What shall we think of a government to which all the truly brave and just men in the land are enemies, standing between it and those whom it oppresses? A government that pretends to be Christian and crucifies a million Christs every day!”
