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.

Massive Roman aqueduct built in Segovia, Spain by emperor Trajan (r. 98-117 AD).
No mortar. Just 2000 year old jenga with limestone blocks.
