Quintus Servilius Caepio: "It was never pleasing to the Romans, that a general should be killed by his own soldiers" or in another version more common in modern Portugal and Spain "Rome does not pay traitors who kill their chief". https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4442
Dwight Eisenhower: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children....This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from an iron cross. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4443
Albert Einstein: Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4444

Edmund Burke: No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4447
Henri Frederic Amiel: Truth is violated by falsehood, but it is outraged by silence. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4448

Thomas Jefferson: Fear can only prevail when victims are ignorant of the facts. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4450
Plato: When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4451

General Douglas MacArthur: I am concerned for the security of our great nation, not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4453
Marcus Tullius Cicero: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4454
Henry Ford: It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4455

Samuel Adams: If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4465
The Declaration of Independence: But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4466

Mahatma Gandhi: Truth never damages a cause that is just. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4475
