Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! -- I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
——Patrick Henry. Americna revolutionary

难道生命如此宝贵，和平如此甜美，以至于不 惜以枷锁和奴役为代价去换取它们吗？万能的上帝，请千万别让这种事情发生。——我不知道别人会走什么路，但是就我而言，不自由，毋宁死！
——美国革命家 亨利 .P.
