"The proposition that the people are the best keepers of their own liberties is not true. They are the worst conceivable, they are no keepers at all; they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body."
-John Adams

"It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do."
"The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality."
