"Many of life's failures are people who did
not realize how close they were
to
success when they gave up."
- Thomas Edison
”To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people
always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to
use them…”
~Richard Henry Lee
”The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most
governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within
the narrowest possible limits. … and [when] the right of the people to
keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever,
prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of
destruction.”
~St. George Tucker
”You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among
other reasons, people despise you….There is simply no comparison between
a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect
that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man
should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the
latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the
other, making cooperation impossible.”
~Niccolo Machiavelli
