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.
Reminds me of a panel in one of Herge’s books, where Tintin and Snowy are lost in the mountains in some hostile Slavic country and they stumble across a small group of soldiers or border guards having wine and cheese in a setting like this. Peril ensues.
