Continent Quotes
1492. As children we were taught to memorize this year with pride and joy as the year people began living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. - Thomas Jefferson Quotes
