About Freedom and Liberty
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may
cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is
actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north
will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our
brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?
What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is
life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the
price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know
not what course others may take; but as for me, give me
liberty or give me death! --Patrick Henry March 23,1775

for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!

poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and
porcelain. --John Adams (1735-1826)

There is the National Flag. He must be cold, indeed, who can
look upon its folds rippling in the breeze without pride of
country. If he be in a foreign land, the flag is
companionship and country itself, with all its
endearment...The very colors have a language which was
recognized by our fathers; white is for purity; red, for
valor; blue, for justice. And altogether, bunting, stripes,
stars, and colors, blazing in the sky, make the flag of our
country, to be cherished by all our hearts, to be upheld by
all our hands.-Charles Sumner
~~~~~~~~~

it forth."-Henry Ward Beecher from The American Flag
~~~~~~~~~
