The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation — enlightened as it is — if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men. .Samuel Adams
About This Quote
The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards. They are our birthright, they are our legacy, they are worth defending every single day. Our freedom was not handed to us by some government official, it is something that we have earned by living in this country and being a part of the American family. We have freedom because we have courage and determination. Our freedom is worth fighting for, since without it we would not be free to live the life that God intended for us to live.
