Excerpts from his famous speech:
“. . . . Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies have bound us hand and foot . . . There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!
. . . . 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 other may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Patrick Henry
