    “The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
