A few I like ....

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." - William Pitt, British Prime Minister, November 18, 1783

"No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent." - Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln-Douglas debate

"It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." - Voltaire

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein.

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.

It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein
