The history of free men is never really written by chance-but by choice-their choice.

Neither a wise man or a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose. We must be willing, individually and as a Nation, to accept whatever sacrifices may be required of us. A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
