You can prove just about anything with quotes

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of the public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.
--Benjamin Disraeli: Speech in the House of Commons, 31 March 1850.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use
-- Galileo Galilei

It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good.
--Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.)
