Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God, I know not what course others may take, but give me liberty or give me death!
-- Patrick Henry
Liberty, the greatest of all earthly blessings give us that precious jewel, and you may take every thing else! ... Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God, I know not what course others may take, but give me liberty or give me death!
