Shall We Gather Strength By Irresolution And

The Liberties Of A People Never Were, Nor Ever Will Be, Secure, When The Transactions Of Their Rulers May Be Concealed From Them.

Bad Men Cannot Make Good Citizens. It Is When A People Forget God That Tyrants Forge Their Chains. A Vitiated State Of Morals, A Corrupted Public Conscience, Is Incompatible With Freedom. No Free Government, Or The Blessings Of Liberty, Can Be Preserved To Any People But By A Firm Adherence To Justice, Moderation, Temperance, Frugality, And Virtue; And By A Frequent Recurrence To Fundamental Principles.

I Know Of No Way Of Judging The Future But By The Past.

This House Protected By An Armed Citizen. There Is Absolutely Nothing Here Worth Dying For.

O Sir, We Should Have Fine Times, Indeed, If, To Punish Tyrants, It Were Only Sufficient To Assemble The People! Your Arms, Wherewith You Could Defend Yourselves, Are Gone; And You Have No Longer An Aristocratical, No Longer A Democratical Spirit. Did You Ever Read Of Any Revolution In A Nation, Brought About By The Punishment Of Those In Power, Inflicted By Those Who Had No Power At All?
