Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.- Horace Greeley
John L. O’SullivanThe far-reaching, the boundless future will be the era of
American greatness. In its magnificent domain of space and time, the nation of many nations is destined
to manifest to mankind the excellence of divine principles; to establish on earth the noblest temple
ever dedicated to the worship of the Most High -- the Sacred and the True. Its floor shall be a hemisphere -- its roof the firmament of the star-studded heavens, and its congregation an Union of many Republics,
comprising hundreds of happy millions, calling, owning no man master, but governed by God's natural and moral law of equality, the law of brotherhood -- of
"peace and good will amongst men.". . .

Henry David Thoreau- On Civil Disoedience
Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to
the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should
be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to
assume is to do at any time what I think right.
