Prima vennero...
Poi vennero a prendere gli ebrei e stetti zitto perchè mi stavano antipatici.
Poi vennero a prendere gli omosessuali e fui sollevato perché mi erano fastidiosi.
Poi vennero a prendere i comunisti ed io non dissi niente perchè non ero comunista.
Un giorno vennero a prendere me e non c’era rimasto nessuno a protestare.

La Dichiarazione d'indipendenza Americana
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

PRIÈRE À DIEU - PREGHIERA A DIO (Voltaire)
Ce n'est donc plus aux hommes que je m'adresse; c'est à toi, Dieu de tous les êtres, de tous les mondes et de tous les temps: s'il est permis à de faibles créatures perdues dans l'immensité, et imperceptibles au reste de l'univers, d'oser te demander quelque chose, à toi qui as tout donné, à toi dont les décrets sont immuables comme éternels, daigne regarder en pitié les erreurs attachées à notre nature; que ces erreurs ne fassent point nos calamités. Tu ne nous as point donné un coeur pour nous haïr, et des mains pour nous égorger; fais que nous nous aidions mutuellement à supporter le fardeau d'une vie pénible et passagère; que les petites différences entre les vêtements qui couvrent nos débiles corps, entre tous nos langages insuffisants, entre tous nos usages ridicules, entre toutes nos lois imparfaites, entre toutes nos opinions insensées, entre toutes nos conditions si disproportionnées à nos yeux, et si égales devant toi; que toutes ces petites nuances qui distinguent les atomes appelés hommesgrandeur et richesse, et que les autres les voient sans envie: car tu sais qu'il n'y a dans ces vanités ni de quoi envier, ni de quoi s'enorgueillir. ne soient pas des signaux de haine et de persécution; que ceux qui allument des cierges en plein midi pour te célébrer supportent ceux qui se contentent de la lumière de ton soleil; que ceux qui couvrent leur robe d'une toile blanche pour dire qu'il faut t'aimer ne détestent pas ceux qui disent la même chose sous un manteau de laine noire; qu'il soit égal de t'adorer dans un jargon formé d'une ancienne langue, ou dans un jargon plus nouveau; que ceux dont l'habit est teint en rouge ou en violet, qui dominent sur une petite parcelle d'un petit tas de la boue de ce monde, et qui possèdent quelques fragments arrondis d'un certain métal, jouissent sans orgueil de ce qu'ils appellentPuissent tous les hommes se souvenir qu'ils sont frères! Qu'ils aient en horreur la tyrannie exercée sur les âmes, comme ils ont en exécration le brigandage qui ravit par la force le fruit du travail et de l'industrie paisible. Si les fléaux de la guerre sont inévitables, ne nous haïssons pas, ne nous déchirons pas les uns les autres dans le sein de la paix, et employons l'instant de notre existence à bénir également en mille langages divers, depuis Siam jusqu'à la Californie, ta bonté qui nous a donné cet instant.
