"Unless you become more watchful in your States and
check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive
privileges, you will in the end find that the most
important powers of Government have been given or
bartered away, and the control of your dearest interests
have been passed into the hands of these corporations"
- President Andrew Jackson,
Farewell Address
"Patriotism... is a superstition artificially created
and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods;
a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and
dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit."
- Emma
Goldman
“We must not destroy from within what we are
trying to defend from without”
