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.

Did they misspell "Pharaoh?" Aren't six pharaohs the same as half a dozen Kaisers? Both tyrannical rulers?
A Pharoah is a king of Egypt. Kaiser and Tsar/Czar are adaptations of Caesar and and thus mean emperor. King Wilhelm I of Prussia was elevated to Kaiser in 1870 with three (IIRC) other German kings and a bunch of Grand Dukes all swearing fealty to him. Al_in_Ottawa
Controversy over spelling; "the incorrect spelling of Pharoah instead of the correct spelling, pharaoh." There are people who take sides as to which is correct. I think "faro" would solve the argument.

Actually, it takes twelve kaisers or pharoahs to make a tyrannical ruler.
ReplyDeleteThe proof comes when you give them an inch, and they take a mile.
