I probably won't be around a computer much this weekend, so today you get 4 quotes! One for today and three for the weekend. What a treat =)
Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives.
John Adams to Benjamin Rush

Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776
There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable pirvileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves nver to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight!!
Give me liberty, or give me death!
both quotes from Patrick Henry - Speech at St. Johns Church
March 25, 1775
