Posterity--you will never know
how much it has cost my generation
to perserve your freedom. I hope
you will make good use of it.
John Quincy Adams
What we obtain too cheaply, we
esteem too lightly; it is dearness only
that gives everything its value.
Heaven knows how to put a price upon
its goods, and it would be strange
indeed if so celestial an article as
freedom should not be highly rated.
Thomas Payne, 1776
For the support of this declaration,
with a firm reliance on the protection
of the Divine Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other, our lives, our
fortunes and our sacred honor.
Declaration Of Independence
