"There is in this world no such force as the force of a man determined to rise. The human soul cannot be permanently chained."
--W.E.B Du Bois, speech to the Republican Club of New York, Mar. 5, 1910
"That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience."
--Patrick Henry, Virginia Bill of Rights, Jun. 12, 1776
