PROHIBITION RELATED QUOTES
"Prohibition... goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it
attempts to control mans' appetite through legislation and makes a
crime out of things that are not even crimes... A prohibition law
strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our Government
was founded" - President Abraham
Lincoln (December 1840)
“If people let
government decide which foods they eat and medicines they
take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the
souls of those who live under tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson
"The
prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered
considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more
destructive of respect for the government and the law of the
land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an
open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this
country is closely connected with this." -
Albert Einstein "My First Impression of the U.S.A.", 1921
