"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers. " Personally I would say this is true of conspiracy sites
"Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle."
“A little rebellion is good now and then.”
“The government you elect is the government you deserve.”
"Whatever state or person “A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.”
"When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil"
About Evil: "When we see ourselves in a situation which must be endured and gone through, it is best to make up our minds to it, meet it with firmness, and accommodate everything to it in the best way practicable. This lessens the evil; while fretting and fuming only serves to increase your own torments"
