Quote examples
Charles M. Schwab
American Businessman
My own idea is that if the men hold any meetings or attempt to form any organization, we should be prepared to be fully informed of all that goes on and unhesitatingly discharge any men connected with this movement. In this way, our peace will be secure for a long time, and it will be easily done if taken at the start.
Quote examples
Benjamin Banneker
American Scientist

Quote examples
