These signs, like paper money, may be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue, cannot be counterfeited or stolen.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our system of government, in spite of Vietnam, Cambodia, CIA, Watergate, is still the best system of government on earth.
