Three Thomas Jefferson quotes for Wikileaks haters:

[friendly_iconoclast]

"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it."

"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion."

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."

[Le Taz Hot]
