Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interest of mankind to any narrow interest of their own
There is something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life. That is his living spirit to a service that is not easy, to resist counsels that are hard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand against.

We cannot, we will not, choose the path of surrender
