-- James Wilson, Lectures on Law, 1791

"If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object; but if we break into squads, everyone pursuing the path he thinks most direct, we become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check."

-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Duane, 1811
