John Witherspoon

John Adams
I do not believe that the power and duty of the General government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit.
President Glover Cleveland
We began a contest for liberty ill provided with the means for the war, relying on our patriotism to supply the deficiency. We expected to encounter many wants and distressed… we must bear the present evils and fortitude.
George Washington
The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
George Washington
