'The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no living man with power to endanger the public liberty. '  -John Adams


The second president of the United States, the first vice president and among the most important and influential of the Founding Fathers, John Adams sometimes gets overshadowed by Washington and Jefferson, but his contributions to the establishment and development of the United States are on par with both of his better-known colleagues. This is especially true when one considers his unpopular but altogether just decision to represent the British soldiers accused of murder in the Boston Massacre.

'Without justice, our lives have no value. '  -Anonymous


Today's quote comes from an unidentified Chinese man in an HBO documentary entitled China's Disaster. The man's only child was killed in 2008's Great Sichuan Earthquake that killed almost 70,000 people, including 10,000 children. Most of the children were crushed when the schools they were attending collapsed, revealing extremely poor construction standards for many of the buildings. The documentary follows a group of grieving parents who undertake a protest march demanding justice for their children from the government and insisting they explain why the schools were so poorly constructed.

'If any man for whatever reason has the opportunity to live an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself. '  -Jacques Cousteau


Far and away the most celebrated and distinguished ocean researcher and environmentalist of the 20th century, Frenchman Jacques Cousteau's own extraordinary life included helping to pioneer the sport of scuba diving and, by extension, the larger field of underwater research by contributing heavily to the early development of the aqualung.

'The race is not always to the swift, but that is where to look. '  -Hugh E. Keough


Keough was one of America's great early sportswriters, working largely as a sports journalist and sports editor for the Chicago Tribune at the turn of the 20th century. He was a big fan of horse racing at a time when races like the Kentucky Derby had just begun to establish traditions they have continued through to this day.

'It is fair to say that the American justice system is built on a foundation of not telling the truth.'  -Alan Dershowitz


Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has taken on no more than 15 cases as a criminal defense attorney, but he's been successful in 13 of them, and he's had some famous clients: disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker, Deep Throat porn star Harry Reems, junk bond king Michael Milken, and, of course, O.J. Simpson. In his book, Reasonable Doubts, Dershowitz rather self-consciously tries to downplay the importance of that trial -- and by extension, his own participation, claiming it "won't be remembered in the next century

"It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world found upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice."
- General Douglas Macarthur

I do not trust what I ingest on the internet because I know how the digital sausage is made. '  -Larry Sanger


It's hard to ignore the implications of these words when they come from Larry Sanger, one of the co-founders of Wikipedia. Perhaps because of his lengthy experience with Wikipedia he recently founded Citizendium, another English-language wiki-based encyclopedia, except this Citizendium requires users to use their real names and tries to offer visitors more reliable, peer-reviewed information from experts.

Life could not continue without throwing the past into the past, liberating the present from its burden. '  -Paul Tillich


The German-American philosopher was among the most influential Protestant theologians in the early 20th century. He made his reputation among the broader public for two books on Christian existential philosophy, The Courage to Be and Dynamics of Faith, both published in the 1950s.
