My Fellow ponies we must report the atrocities committed by our absolutist government.

''If in a democratic country nothing can be permanently achieved save through the masses of the people, it will be impossible to establish a higher political life than the people themselves crave....the blessings which we associate with a life of refinement and cultivation can be made universal and must be made universal if they are to be permanent...the good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain, is floating in mid-air, until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life."

- Jane Addams
