Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.

Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man's starving!

May He who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed, and enabled you with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your keeping.

No money on earth can buy the love and affection that has been given to me by a grateful nation.

I am willing to serve my country, but do not wish to sacrifice the brave men under my command.

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!

And now let me address all of you, high and low, rich and poor, one with another, to accept of mercy and grace while it is offered to you; Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation; and will you not accept it, now it is offered unto you?

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

As to my followers, I wish no man to follow me who is not sound at the heart in the cause of his country; and either at the head or in the ranks of these, I will always consider it my glory to be found.

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!
