Constitutional framer John
Dickinson put it this way:
"As a charitable, but poor person does not withhold
his mite, because he cannot relieve all the distresses of the miserable, so
should not any honest man suppress his sentiments concerning freedom, however
small their influence is likely to be.
"Perhaps he may...have an effect greater
than he could reasonably expect.
"Concordia
res parvae crescent [Small things grow great by concord]."
What can you do?
By small things are
great things brought to pass...
