Liberty ought to be the direct end of your government.
The King has degenerated into a tyrant and forfeits all rights to his subjects' obedience.
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
We should transmit to posterity our abhorrence of slavery.
We have not yet begun to fight.
Fear is the passion of slaves.
