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.
Someone once asked J.B.S. Haldane, a famous British biologist, what a lifetime of studying biology had taught him about God, should there be one. He answered, "He has an inordinate fondness for beetles". I would say "an inordinate fondness for partial differential equations." Fluid dynamics like that is a perfect illustration.
