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.

Portrait of a Man in Armor (and a silly hat), Circa 1514.
I wouldn't hang that horrid thing even on my bathroom wall, but considering its worth I wouldn't mind getting it as a birthday present.
ReplyDeleteI bet no one told him his hat was silly.
ReplyDeleteOwning that sword makes up for any hat he might have on.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have armor and a two-handed sword, you can wear any damned hat you please.
ReplyDeleteEven money it was made from the missus' cat.
