Founders' Quotes
July 3, 1776
"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the
history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding
generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as
the Day of Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to
be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from
this time forward forever.
"You will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I am not. I am well
aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this
Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I
can see the rays of ravishing light and glory I can see that the end is worth
more than all the means; that posterity will triumph in that day's transaction,
even though we [may regret] it, which I trust in God we shall not."
-- Samuel
Adams (1722-1803), Founder, politician, Signer of the Constitution, Governor
of Massachusetts (1793-97)."Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies
are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend
the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on
which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of
yourselves."
-- Joseph
Warren (1741-1775), Massachusetts physician and radical leader in the
American Revolution, elected to the Provincial Congress, killed in the Battle of
Bunker Hill
