No man who was not a true gentleman at heart, ever was, since the world began, a true gentleman in a manner, no varnish can ever hide the grain of the wood; and that the more varnish you put on, the more the grain will express itself. Charles Dickens

"The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it."
- John Stuart Mill

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical"
- Thomas Jefferson

"Complaints are every where heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty; that our governments are too unstable; that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties; and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice, and the rights of the minor party; but by the superior force of an interested and over-bearing majority. However anxiously we may wish that these complaints had no foundation, the evidence of known facts will not permit us to deny that they are in some degree true."
-James Madison, The Federalist No. 10

And one I've always thought was great, though I'm a little embarassed by the source:

"Let these cats amuse you with comical depictions, but where I'm from being broke is no honorable affliction"
- Bubba Sparxxx
