"Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal."	Eric Lustbader
"A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight."	Martin Luther

Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say."	Lord Melbourne
"If we can not trust a freeman with his right to keep and bear arms, then how can we trust him with the right to vote. Surely the right of a freeman to vote has a much greater effect on our collective lives than does any individual's firearm. If one argues that the effect of any one freeman's vote is minimal, then why allow it in the first place? To be armed is to secure one's right to representation."	Thomas Mincher
"The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know."	Joe Moore
"After last night's debate, the reputation of Messieurs Lincoln and Douglas is secure."	Edward R(oscoe) Murrow
