Top 5 quotes from Patrick Henry
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
"If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!"
"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
"The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave."
"I know not what course others make take, but as for me: give me Liberty, or give me death."
