If Virtue & Knowledge Are

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

The Sum Of All Is, If We Would Most Truly Enjoy The Gift Of Heaven, Let Us Become A Virtuous People; Then Shall We Both Deserve And Enjoy It. While On The Other Hand, If We Are Universally Vicious And Debauched In Our Manners, Though The Form Of Our Constitution Carries The Face Of The Most Exalted Freedom, We Shall In Reality Be The Most Abject Slaves.

It Is In The Interest Of Tyrants To Reduce The People To Ignorance And Vice. For They Cannot Live In Any Country Where Virtue And Knowledge Prevail.

Let Us Contemplate Our Forefathers, And Posterity, And Resolve To Maintain The Rights Bequeathed To Us From The Former, For The Sake Of The Latter.

Let No Man Thirst For Good Beer.
