“We find it hard to believe that other people' s thoughts are as silly as our own, but they probably are.”
- James Harvey Robinson (1863-1936), American historian: In "Quotations to Cheer You Up When the World is Getting You Down," by Allen Klein, 1991.
“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people… and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers.”
- John Adams (1735 – 1826), 2nd American President and Federalist statesman: “A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law”, 1765.
