The Militia Is Our Ultimate Safety. We

United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Let Us Not Split Into Factions Which Must Destroy That Union Upon Which Our Existence Hangs.

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!

Shall We Gather Strength By Irresolution And Inaction?

Fear Is The Passion Of Slaves.

[our Constitution] Is An Instrument For The People To Restrain The Government.
