Patrick Henry

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry

After hearing Bill Potter's lecture, 'Patrick Henry, Forgotten Founding Father', last weekend at Circa, I started reading David Vaughn's biography of Henry: Give Me Liberty.  I am especially enjoying Part II of the book, The Character of Patrick Henry.
