The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.

Liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals.

He who made all men hath made the truths necessary to human happiness obvious to all. Our forefathers opened the Bible to all.

It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

What a man has honestly acquired is absolutely his own, which he may freely give, but cannot be taken from him without his consent.

We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection

Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.
