Democracy is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve the sacred promises of human dignity, justice and peace.

Alfred-Maurice De Zayas Lawyer

Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state. Let the Government do this: the People will assuredly do the rest.

Thomas B. Macaulay Former Secretary At War

If the English want a king, it is their business. If the Russians want communism, it is their business. If the Americans want our form of government, it is our business.
