“Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is

having tucked their capital, their capitals away.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“We must have constantly present in our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit, and if a citizen could do what they forbid he would no longer be possessed of liberty.”
