Potter StewartRead
The protection of a man's person is more sacred than the protection of his property.

Albert EinsteinRead

Camille PagliaRead

Edward SnowdenRead

Gautama BuddhaRead
To all general purposes we have uniformly been one people each individual citizen everywhere enjoying the same national rights, privileges, and protection.

In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property.
Samuel AdamsRead
