Patrick Henry
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
Patrick Henry
I am not a Virginian, I am an American.
Patrick Henry
Righteousness alone can exalt them [America] as a nation. Reader! Whoever thou art, remember this, and in thy sphere practice virtue thyself and encourage it in others.
