However wise and scientific as a philosopher, as a politician he is a child and dupe of party. John Adams 1797 -Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. Thomas Jefferson 1782 -A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sin and suffering. Thomas Jefferson 1816 - I cannot live in this miserable, undone country, where... we are governed by the old red breeches of that prince of projectors, St. Thomas of Cantingbury; and surely, Becket himself never had more pilgrims at his shrine than the saint of Montiv\cello. -John Randolph of Roanoke, 1832
