"And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what
you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will
do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
- John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961 |

"Businessmen are the one group that distinguishes capitalism and the American way of
life from the totalitarian statism that is swallowing the rest of the world. All the other
social groups - workers, farmers, professional men, scientists, soldiers - exist under
dictatorships, even though they exist in chains, in terror, in misery, and in progressive
self-destruction. But there is no such group as businessmen under a dictatorship. Their
place is taken by armed thugs: by bureaucrats and commissars. Businessmen are the symbol
of a free society - the symbol of America." |
| - Ayn Rand |
|
"I come more and more to the conclusion that wilderness, in America or anywhere else,
is the only thing left that is worth saving." |
| - Edward Abbey |

war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling
to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always
been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world!" |
- John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961 |

| - H.L. Mencken |
|
"My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the
last best hope of earth." |
| - Abraham Lincoln |
|
"Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice
as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages." |
| - H.L. Mencken |
|
"When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his

| - Harry S. Truman |
