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.

DeleteI have bookmarked the complete audiobook. It is wonderful.
DeleteGo on to Utube and listen to Caine recall some of his and Sean’s carousing around in their younger days…
ReplyDeleteIt sems to me that Michael Caine has a provision in his contract that says he must be referred to as the Queen of England in every movie.
