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 appreciate the art you post. Much of it is a historical record, giving us insight into the past, and the human condition that never changes. Thank you.
Agree. In this painting I think the girl on the left has an inflamed left heel. She should have that seen to but despite that I'd still have it on my wall in a heartbeat.
