Freedom Quotes

- “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the
Savior of the world, your most joyous and most
venerated festival returns on this day
[ July 4th ]? Is it not that, in the chain
of human events, the birthday of the nation is
indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior?
That it forms a leading event in the progress of the
Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration
of Independence first organized the social compact on
the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth?
That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon
the first precepts of Christianity?”

can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when
we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in

forever.”

deprive the people of all property until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered...”
