The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than
when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often
by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in step and obey in silence
the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty
of the good citizen not to be silent.
-- Charles Eliot Norton, True Patriotism, 1898
