The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.
George Washington
The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.
Independence now, and independence forever!
Thomas Jefferson
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
Benjamin Franklin
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Liberty, according to my metaphysics, is a self-determining power in an intellectual agent. It implies thought and choice and power.
John Adams
Independence forever.
The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man
Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.
James Madison
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
Every human has four endowments - self-awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
