"There is a just God who
presides over the destines of nations ... who will raise up friends to fight
our battle for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the
vigilant, the active, the brave. ... 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 as for me, give me liberty or give me
death.
" --Patrick Henry, 1775
