“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
“When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.”
