“How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints.”
-C.S Lewis
"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of."
-C.S Lewis
"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death"
—Solomon

This story shall the good man teach his son,
And Sept. 4th 2022 shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.
-Shakespeare's King Henry on the St Crispin's Day speech.

I have several from the greatest President of the United States in history.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. -- Theodore Roosevelt
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. -- Theodore Roosevelt
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. -- Theodore Roosevelt
I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character! -- Theodore Roosevelt
Some by one of the key architects of American freedom.
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. -- Thomas Jefferson
I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. -- Thomas Jefferson
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. -- Thomas Jefferson
Bonus quote
Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Women and children, frontline, log on, tune in, stand and be counted
Wounded, stationed, in the belly of the vulture
Watch your back, there's no civilians
Women, children, frontline, listen
Consider this a distant, early warning
The fire's imminent, pollution, gathering dust particles
Funneling through smokestacks, airwaves, bandwidth
Disinformation tube-fed, check the labels
Delete the virus - alert the masses!
Butterfly wing crosswinds, send Black Hawks toward hurricane survivors
Roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
Pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
New forms are beginning to take shape
Once-occupied minds are activating
People are waking up! The insurgency is alive and well
Rise of the Flobots; portrait of the new American insurgent
Rattle and shake the foundations of the world order
Assembly line consent, resist, refuse, inform
Create, direct loved ones to the trenches
Suit up, forge rubble into fortresses
Plaster, cloth, aluminum, broken porcelain
Rusted platinum, burn bloodstains from decompressed diamonds
Hammer the battlecry into braille-studded armor
We are building up a new world, do not sit idly by
Do not remain neutral, do not rely on this broadcast alone
We are only as strong as our signal
There is a war going on for your mind
If you are thinking, you are winning
Resistance is victory, defeat is impossible
Your weapons are already in hand
Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
Fight with tools!
Your fate, and that of everyone you know, depends on it"

“When all beauty is tarnished, and all thought is profaned
they’ll cry out for men to invoke the iron rods again
Now this our secret flame will illuminate the night
And it’s sparks fly on the wind and set the world alight”
“Back to the front”
“What is to give light must endure burning, and though the flame of liberty may fade the coal will never expire”

“Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.”

Anything from Miguel Cervantes de Saavedra is good:
- Facts are the enemy of truth.
- Wit and humor do not reside in slow minds.
- The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water.
- Virtue is persecuted by the wicked more than it is loved by the good.

Thank you for the Grateful Dead forum lyrics @Resident Cheeser. Hearts and Ankhs, ftw:
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
