More quotes by Patrick Henry

Patrick Henry
Were my soul trembling on the wing of eternity, were this hand freezing to death, were my voice choking with the last struggle, I would still, with the last gasp of that voice, implore you to remember the truth: God has given America to be free.
Patrick Henry
They tell us, sir, that we are weak unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
Patrick Henry
I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be offered to abolish this lamentable evil.
Patrick Henry
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace! – but there is no peace.
Patrick Henry
I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
Patrick Henry
