Patrick Henry on Liberty

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."

    -- Patrick Henry, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 5 June 1778
