“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves ; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”
― Thomas Jefferson, Letters of Thomas Jefferson

“A right delayed is a right denied.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

“Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be”
