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.
I was at a state park once and a line of riders came out of the woods at a distance from me. I kept thinking there was something odd about several of the horses and when they got a bit close it was obvious they were mules.
That is a fantastic painting.
