"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."
Abbey, Edward
"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."
Adams, John Quincy
"Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."
Adams, John Quincy
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."
Adams, Samuel
"Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong."
Bryce, James
"The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree."
Campbell, Thomas
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
Franklin, Benjamin
"The constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness, you have to catch it yourself."
Franklin, Benjamin
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety."
Franklin, Benjamin
