Quote
“Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too — great enough to give fame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. … I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. … for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory. … They seized upon eternal principles, and set a glorious example in their defense. Mark them!”Share
