"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. "— Thomas Jefferson

Which is why the "Price of Liberty is eternal vigilance."

(For graduates of government schools: Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, the principal writer of the Declaration of Independence, and the 3rd President —1801-1809.)

"The whole of the Bill of Rights is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals. It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." — Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789.
