Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS:
Just found this site on a Google search and found the quotes to be inspirational, timeless and highly relevant.

I especially like this one:

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." -- Patrick Henry, Virginia's Ratification convention, 1788
