— George William Curtis
“It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”
— John Philpot Curran Speech upon the Right of Election (1790)
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
