To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

The incomparable stupidity of life teaches us to love our parents; divine philosophy teaches us to forgive them.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

Mediocrity is a hand-rail.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

Virtue has needs of limits.

Baron De Montesquieu Author

Of course we have Queen Elizabeth as head of state, but in many ways we are a kind of republic. We don't have royals in Australia, so it was kind of unusual to run into those kind of people. But aside from that it was quite ordinary.

Mary, Crown Princess Of Denmark

I'm a conservative because I believe we're here on this earth to do a little more than crawl through life, comfortable in the cradle of government excess and oblivious to the duties required to keep this republic standing.

Allen West Former United States Representative

At twenty every one is republican.

Alphonse De Lamartine Writer

Once you get to the Enlightenment, the way that powers get to be hyperpowers isn't just by conquest. It's through commerce and innovation. Societies like the Dutch Republic and the United States used tolerance to become a magnet for enterprising immigrants.

Amy Chua Professor

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

Bill Maher Comedian

I may die, but the Republic of 1916 will never die. Onward to the Republic and liberation of our people.

Bobby Sands Political Leader
