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.
As I view stamps and currency, architecture and cars from the past, I have to wonder why the West gave up its sense of beauty and design? Everything today is so utilitarian and plain that I long for a time when a Bentley looked like a Bentley, and our currency had gravitas. Maybe it's BECAUSE our currency is so worthless that its design reflects that.
