Thank you for posting that. It almost saddens me how diminished and corrupted we are compared to the greatness from whence we sprung. We should be ashamed of ourselves for corrupting their noble dreams. Oh well, perhaps someday we can put things right again.

...

The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.

...

Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
