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.
While I was growing up, my dad used to almost always give my mother chocolate covered cherries as gifts for whatever celebration was occurring at the time. Of course, she'd always share them with us kids. What a treat!!!
Later, when my dad was a bit incapacitated with dementia and a celebration was coming up, I took up the role of chocolate covered cherry gift procurer. The third or fourth time that I presented mom with her sweet gift, she admitted that that she never really liked chocolate covered cherries... Oh well.

Used to get them every Christmas from my Mother in law. She died in '96, haven't had them since. She was a good woman, much like her daughter.
