And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Mondays, they're like that.
I need to translate this into Latin, and use it as a motto.
I bring not peace, but a sword-----------Et terram non veni pacem mittere, sed gladium. I used this: http://en.eprevodilac.com/prevodilac-engleski-latinski Steve
Where's that clip from? For some reason I'm thinking it's from the Emilio Estevez masterpiece "Repo Man", but I'm not 100% sure. I always wanted to quote that line at hippie/liberal types who assume Jesus was non-violent or would be against guns.
is that William Burroughs?
ReplyDeleteI think you're right - although at first blush I hoped and prayed it was Enoch Powell.
DeleteHey man.........it's Virgil....from the Reb.....hope you're well. if you be the RD from the same place.....hell...even if you ain't!
DeleteHey, Virgil. Yeah, it's me, still goin and turned 70 back in April. Best to you and yours.
DeleteHm, have you tried the Latin translation yet. I'm so wore out from work today; I could use a t-shirt with that slogan.
