Quotes of the Week at Rational Nation USA

In my search for quotes of the week I attempted to find those within the time frame originally envisioned, the 18th to the 21st century.

While searching for quotes that exemplify both rationality and American values I realized that quotes that meet that standard can be found throughout history. So with this in mind Rational Nation USA, the blog, gives you quotes of the week December 28, 2009.
