“We cannot always determine our situation or our lot in life, but we can determine our response to these circumstances. That is what makes a man free; not his conditions, but his actions.”
― Tanner Cook

“The tools of reason are cold and inert; they cannot be used to form the foundations of those values from which we become animate. So when contemporary philosophers, scientists, politicians, and even the common man attempt to justify their beliefs based on reason alone, they are ultimately doomed to fail in their efforts. Science and logic are powerful tools of excavation to uncover facts, but at the depths of the canyon from which they dig, the question of why will always echo back to them.”
― Tanner Cook

“Our Constitutional Republic wasn’t constructed through elitist social engineering or some sort of utopian political theory. It was raised from the ground up; formed from the very natures of the people whom made it possible. This is worthy of remembrance. This is history to be proud of. This is an identity to embrace. This is an ideal to defend.”
― Tanner Cook, The Way of Free Men: A Manual for Resisting Tyranny

“Our mission is not to conquer the world, nor save it – for many have pursued one if only for the purpose of achieving the other, and all have failed to accomplish either. We, the Sons of Liberty, are united in the faith of Freedom. Though the masses may choose slavery, we shall choose liberty. We fight, first and foremost, for our own, but when the slaves cry out for salvation, we will hear their call, and shall respond with fervent fury.

Nil desperandum – Never despair.”
