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.
Reminds me of my fifth Daughter Dixie when she was about 6 who came to the back porch after playing in the fields and was covered from head to toe in mud. All I could do was laugh and say come in honeychile'.:) Fortunately I took a picture of her at the bottom of the back steps.
Now that's GUSTO!
