Quote from Joel Barlow 

"[Individual disarmament] palsies the hand and brutalizes the mind;
an habitual disuse of physical force totally destroys the moral;
and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves,
and of discerning the cause of their oppression."

Quote by:
Joel Barlow
(1754-1812) American poet, diplomat, politician
