QUOTE: Thomas Jefferson - liberties & freedoms

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; 
what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?  Let them take arms."
 
************************
  
"I have sworn upon the altar of God, 
eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

 ************************

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free ... 
it expects what never was and never will be."

- Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)
