Shall We Gather Strength By

We Have Not Yet Begun To Fight.

[our Constitution] Is An Instrument For The People To Restrain The Government.

The Battle, Sir, Is Not To The Strong Alone; It Is To The Vigilant, The Active, The Brave.

Should I Keep Back My Opinions At Such A Time, Through Fear Of Giving Offense, I Should Consider Myself As Guilty Of Treason Towards My Country, And Of An Act Of Disloyalty Toward The Majesty Of Heaven, Which I Revere Above All Earthly Kings.

The Battle Is Not To The Strong Alone. It Is To The Vigilant, The Active, And The Brave. A Small, Disciplined Militia Can Not Only Hold Out Against A Larger Force, But Drive It Back, Because What They're Fighting For Rightfully Belongs To Them.
