T. Mann
I remember when I was a girl, our house caught on fire. I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me in his arms and raced from the burning building out onto the pavement. I stood there shivering and watched the whole world go up in flames. When it was all over, I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire?"
Patrick Henry
- Give me Liberty or Give Me Death
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!
