Quote of the Day

“It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”

– John Philpot Curran
Speech upon the Right of Election
for Lord Mayor of Dublin, 1790
