“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”  - Benjamin Franklin

“Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” – Winston Churchill - The Second World War

"All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.  May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” - Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House on August 1, 1776.

Rules & Principles of Law

  • 95b.  Every general principle [or maxim of law] is its own pledge or warrant;  and things that are clearly true are not to be proved. Branch, Princ.; Co. Litt. 11.
  • 95c.  The exception to the rule should not destroy the rule. C.L.M. An exception proves the existence of a rule. Groves, 40 U.S. 449, 505.
  • 95h.  As to things not apparent, and those not existing, the rule is the same. 5 Coke, 6.
  • 95y.  Not only what is permitted, but what is convenient, is to be considered, because what is inconvenient is illegal. Co. Litt. 66a.
  • 95bb.  The law does not arise from the rule (or maxim), but the rule from the law.  Tray. Lat. Max. 384.
