→Quotes: Demosthenes - America didn't start this you know.
* "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well taught lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free." - [[Ronald Reagan]]

*The idea predates America by over 2000 years: the Athenian statesman, [[Demosthenes (Greek statesman)|Demosthenes]] said: ''There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots. What is it? Distrust.''
