Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
All cats are gray in the dark.
Benjamin Franklin
A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” Benjamin Franklin
