We Shall Never Be Abandoned By Heaven

A General Dissolution Of Principles And Manners Will More Surely Overthrow The Liberties Of America Than The Whole Force Of The Common Enemy.

In A State Of Tranquility, Wealth, And Luxury, Our Descendants Would Forget The Arts Of War And The Noble Activity And Zeal Which Made Their Ancestors Invincible. Every Art Of Corruption Would Be Employed To Loosen The Bond Of Union Which Renders Our Resistance Formidable. When The Spirit Of Liberty Which Now Animates Our Hearts And Gives Success To Our Arms Is Extinct, Our Numbers Will Accelerate Our Ruin And Render Us Easier Victims To Tyranny.

Religion And Good Morals Are The Only Solid Foundation Of Public Liberty And Happiness.

We Cannot Make Events. Our Business Is Wisely To Improve Them.

If We Suffer Tamely A Lawless Attack Upon Our Liberty, We Encourage It, And Involve Others In Our Doom.
