"The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

— President Thomas Jefferson.

This is one of my favorite quotes, because it always makes me think. It is currently on almost all of the telephone poles I passed on my way home on Capitol Hill.

Interesting.

Jefferson was apparently a back-stabbing asshole to the point that G. Washington shut him out for a while and refused all correspondences.
