  2. A quotation from Thomas Hobbes

    The Obligation of Subjects to the Soveraign, is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth, by which he is able to protect them. For the right men have by Nature to protect themselves, when none else can protect them, can by no Covenant be relinquished. […] The end of Obedience is Protection; which, wheresoever a man seeth it, either in his own, or in anothers sword, Nature applyeth his obedience to it, and his endeavour to maintaine it.

    Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) English philosopher
    Leviathan, Part 2 “Of Common-wealth,” ch. 21 “Of the Liberty of Subjects” (1651)

  3. A quotation from Lincoln

    Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage, and you are preparing your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of those around you, you have lost the genius of your own independence, and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1858-09-11), Edwardsville, Illinois

  9. A quotation from Lewis Carroll

       “Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied: “and then the different branches of Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
       “I never heard of ‘Uglification,'” Alice ventured to say. “What is it?”
    The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. “Never heard of uglifying!” it exclaimed.    “You know what to beautify is, I suppose?”
       “Yes,” said Alice, doubtfully: “it means — to — make — anything — prettier.”
       “Well then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton.”
       Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said, “What else had you to learn?”
       “Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, — “Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling — the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”

    Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) English writer and mathematician [pseud. of Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson]
    Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, ch. 9 “The Mock Turtle’s Story” (1865)
