“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. 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.” - Patrick Henry

PS. I just finished listening to it, and the hairs rose on my arms. The actor that did the voice is excellent.

His June 5th, 1787 speech is also a classic. Not as well known, but just as important.

It’s right up there with Shakespeare. It’s even better though, because it happened in real life, not in a play.
