"The
battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the
brave. Besides, Sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it,
it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in
submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on
the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let
it come!"
~~Patrick Henry
