Bad Men Cannot Make Good

I Am Not A Virginian, I Am An American.

It Is Natural To Man To Indulge In The Illusion Of Hope. We Are Apt To Shut Our Eyes Against A Painful Truth, Till She Transforms Us Into Beasts.

Is The Relinquishment Of The Trial By Jury And The Liberty Of The Press Necessary For Your Liberty? Will The Abandonment Of Your Most Sacred Rights Tend To The Security Of Your Liberty? Liberty, The Greatest Of All Earlthy Blessings - Give Us That Precious Jewel, And You May Take Every Things Else! . . . Guard With Jealous Attention The Public Liberty. Suspect Every One Who Approaches That Jewel.

The Militia Is Our Ultimate Safety. We Can Have No Security Without It. The Great Object Is That Every Man Be Armed.

Whether This Will Prove A Blessing Or A Curse, Will Depend Upon The Use Our People Will Make Of The Blessings Which A Gracious God Hath Bestowed On Us. If They Are Wise, They Will Be Great And Happy. If They Are Of A Contrary Character, They Will Be Miserable. Righteousness Alone Can Exalt Them As A Nation. Reader! Whoever Thou Art, Remember This: And In Thy Sphere Practice Virtue Thyself, An Encourage It In Others.
