He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man. (The Life and Public Services of Samuel Adams, William V. Wells, Vol 1. p. 22; as quoted in The 5000 Year Leap, W. Cleon Skousen, p.60)'

What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry
