Give me liberty, or give me death! Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Where liberty dwells, there is my country. If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it. The ultimate authority resides in the people alone. The constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government. I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression. Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take away everything you have. Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government. Liberty must at all hazards be supported. I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. A share in the sovereignty of the state, and the registry of her laws, are the unalienable rights of every citizen. A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government. The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards. Our unalterable resolution would be to be free.Show Code
