Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
John Quincy Adams
It takes a fool to test how deep the water is with both feet.

British general William Howe made a foolish frontal attack on the American trenches near Boston exposing his troops to the deadly fire of the Americans who had won the battle of Concord.
American general Israel Putnam yelled out "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes."
The American troops obeyed and decimated the British regulars.

I heard this one at the WW2 memorial the other day. "We'd rather die on our feet, than live on our knees." That's a great one! |

"May God Forgive me for ever having worn another uniform" The words Benedict Arnold spoke on his death bed, lying there in his full Continental uniform .......the same one he wore his that last day at West Point.

"Better to die a hero than live a coward"
and
"Better dead than red"
