This house protected by an armed citizen. There is absolutely nothing here worth dying for.

This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed.

If we wish to be free; if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending; if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained - we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms, and to the God of hosts, is all that is left us.

He that hath a blind conscience which sees nothing, a dead conscience which feels nothing, and a dumb conscience which says nothing, is in as miserable a condition as a man can be on this side of hell.

Oh, how wretched should I be at this moment, if I had not made my peace with God.

It is when a people forget God, that tyrants forge their chains.
