Johann Gottlieb Fichte

By philosophy the mind of man comes to itself, and from henceforth rests on itself without foreign aid, and is completely master of itself, as the dancer of his feet, or the boxer of his hands.

He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.

A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
