Patrick Henry: Quote for January 8, 2009

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
from: Give Me Liberty (1936 Short Film)
John Little acted as Patrick Henry
