Patrick Henry Quotes

I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be offered to abolish this lamentable evil. Everything we do is to improve it, if it happens in our day; if not, let us transmit to our descendants, together with our slaves, a pity for their unhappy lot and an abhorrence of slavery Picture Quote #1
Adversity toughens manhood, and the characteristic of the good or the great man is not that he has been exempt from the evils of life, but that he has surmounted them Picture Quote #1
The whole economy of this lower world proves that it is by labor and perseverance only that good is obtained and evil is avoided Picture Quote #1
It is the business of a virtuous clergy to censure vice in every appearance of it Picture Quote #1
United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs Picture Quote #1
My great objection to this government is, that it does not leave us the means of defending our rights, or of waging war against tyrants Picture Quote #1

It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom Picture Quote #1
Away with your president! We shall have a king... the army will salute him as monarch; your militia will leave you and assist in making him king and fight against you. And what have you to oppose this force? What will then become of you and your rights? Picture Quote #1
Hospitality invites to prayer before it checks credentials, welcomes to the table before administering the entrance exam Picture Quote #1
Power is the great evil with which we are contending. We have divided power between three branches of government and erected checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. However, where is the check on the power of the judiciary? If we fail to check the power of the judiciary, I predict that we will eventually live under judicial tyranny Picture Quote #1

You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured; for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government Picture Quote #1
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined Picture Quote #1
Patrick Henry did not say, ‘Give me absolutely safety or give me death.’ America is supposed to be about freedom Picture Quote #1
Men of Virginia, countrymen of Washington, of Patrick Henry, of Jefferson, and of Madison, will ye be true to your constitutional faith Picture Quote #1
