Before I go off to enjoy hot dogs and hamburgers right off the grill, and before I head out to watch fireworks light up the night sky, I thought I'd take the time to reacquaint myself with some worthwhile words from the people who helped shape the country we live in today. and btw, Happy Independence Day. 
“If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. “~Thomas Paine
“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” ~Thomas Paine
“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. “
George Washington
“... The war is actually begun!... I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” ~Patrick Henry March 23,1775
“Where liberty dwells, there is my country.” ~Benjamin Franklin
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. “
~The Declaration of Independence
"The last hope of human liberty in this world rests on us. . . .
If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object...Things may here and there go a little wrong. It is not in their power to prevent it. But all will be right in the end, though not perhaps by the shortest means."
Thomas Jefferson to Colonel Wm. Duane, 1811
