    “An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Madam, I may be President of the United States, but my private life is nobody’s damn business.”
    —Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)

    “That Cabot merely landed on the uninhabitable shore of Labrador gave the English no just title to New England, or to the United States generally, any more than to Patagonia.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “An ambassador is not simply an agent; he is also a spectacle.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.”
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)
