Patrick Henry

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
We should transmit to posterity our abhorrence of slavery.
Patrick Henry
Being a Christian... is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast.
Patrick Henry
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Patrick Henry
Fear is the passion of slaves.
Patrick Henry
We have not yet begun to fight.
Patrick Henry
