Patrick
Henry
"We
are apt to shut our eyes against a painful
truth, and listen to the song of that
siren till she transforms us into beasts.
Is this the part of wise men, engaged
in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit
it may cost, I am willing to know the
whole truth; to know the worst, and to
provide for it."
-
Patrick Henry, "Give me Liberty or
Give Me Death", March 23, 1775.

Hancock
"Some
boast of being friends to government;
I am a friend to righteous government,
to a government founded upon the principles
of reason and justice; but I glory in
publicly avowing my eternal enmity to
tyranny."

the Anniversary of the Boston Massacre
of 1770

liberty."

James
Madison
"Ambition
must be made to counteract ambition. ...
In framing a government which is to be
administered by men over men, the great
difficulty lies in this: you must first
enable the government to control the governed;
and in the next place oblige it to control
itself."

Thomas
Jefferson
"We
hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with inherent
and inalienable rights; that among these,
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed"

latter. "
