- Benjamin Franklin
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville

Do not let your fire go out, spark by
irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and
the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only
frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The
world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is
yours.
