A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.

There! His Majesty can now read my name without glasses. And he can double the reward on my head!
John T. HancockTags: american-revolution
The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I Am Not A Virginian, But An American!
Patrick HenryTags: american-revolution
Three 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. Beside, 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.
Patrick HenryTags: american-revolution
One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one's house. A man's house is his castle.
James OtisTags: american-revolution
These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their county; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered yet we have this consolation with us, the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.
Tom PaineTags: american-revolution
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
Tom PaineTags: american-revolution
Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.
John ParkerTags: american-revolution
Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes! Then fire low!
Israel PutnamTags: american-revolution
Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.
