It is a war which makes hate a badge of honor, slavery the keystone to prosperity. Not to resist would make one an accomplice to crime. Resistance was part of the program of Jesus. We must resist oppression and tyranny. We have to end it no matter what it costs.

- Minot Osgood Simons

It is our individual performances, no matter how humble our place in life may be, that will in the long run determine how well ordered the world may become.
