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.

Union soldier Charles Merrill was saved from a musket ball by his Bible at the Battle of Chancellorsville. When he wrote to Lincoln about the incident, the President sent him a new Bible with his signature inside.
I was walking down the street one day in Cincinnati and I looked down to find a bullet. After looking it over I dropped it in my breast pocket and continued on my way.
In the next block somebody tossed a Gideon Bible out of a 7th-story hotel window and it hit me smack in the chest and bounced off. If it hadn't have been for that bullet, that Bible might've killed me.
Broke 4 ribs.
