“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” — General George Patton
“I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth more than all the means….” — John Adams
