A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have
sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any
who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.
-George Washington

PATRIOT'S DECLARATION
"The Sun never shined on a cause of greater worth."
- Thomas Paine (1776)
"I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to
maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through
all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see
that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will
tryumph in that Days Transaction, even all tho We should rue it, which I
trust in God We shall not." -John Adams (1776)
"Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!"
-George Washington (1779)
"[T]he flames kindled on the 4 of July 1776, have spread over too much of
the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the
contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them."
- Thomas Jefferson (1821)
"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
obtainedwe 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."
-Patrick Henry (1775)
