Founders' Quote Daily

"Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies
are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining
to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you
depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important
question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions
yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves."

-- Joseph Warren (Boston Massacre Oration, 6 March 1775)
