"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.

Martyrdom sounds really cool until you have something worth living for. Though that quote is funny in its way because it's asking for volunteers, not offering itself.
