"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

Okay, I'm going to cheat and post a couple more by Adams because I love them...

"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."

"I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind." -- George Bernard Shaw
