Happy Independence day!

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” — Benjamin Franklin

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right…and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers.” — John Adams

“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” — Benjamin Franklin

“Yesterday, the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that those United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” — John Adams Letter to Mrs. Adams, July 3, 1776

“One man with courage makes a majority.” — Patrick Henry

    Ben Franklin was right. And very hot. I’d have been one of his groupies. :)

    Happy 4th, Shan

    Love that first quote by Ben Franklin! It’s one of my favorite.
