"When fear enters the heart of a man……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson
"When fear enters the heart of a man at hearing the names of candidates and the reading of laws that are proposed, then is the State safe, but when these things are heard without regard, as above or below us, then is the Commonwealth sick or dead."
