“I stress … the deep need each woman has to study the scriptures. We want our homes to be blessed with sister scriptorians—whether you are single or married, young or old, widowed or living in a family. After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?”

1. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

2. Individual self-government lies at the root of all true and effective government, whether in heaven or on earth..

3. "Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be."

4, "Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it."

5. For what avail the plough or sail, or land or life, if freedom fail?

6. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

7. It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.

8. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

9. You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

10. Better to starve free than be a fat slave.

11. There, I guess King George will be able to read that. (after signing the Declaration of Independence)
Happy 4th of July!
