The American Revolution was a beginning,
not a consummation.
~Woodrow Wilson
On this, our happy day, the birth of our nation, let us remember and never forget the help and support we received from France - (their millions of dollars and naval fleet). For without it, we, the United States, would most likely not have won our independence on this date.
Thank you - Merci, France.
Sur ce point, de nos jours heureux, la naissance de notre nation, rappelons-nous et ne jamais oublier l'aide et le soutien que nous avons reçu de la France - (des millions de dollars et de la flotte navale). Car sans elle, nous, les États-Unis, ne serait probablement pas avoir gagné notre indépendance à cette date.
As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.
~George Washington
What? George Washington was a LIBERAL?
Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security
will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
~Benjamin Franklin
You can protect your liberties in this world
only by protecting the other man's freedom.
You can be free only if I am free.
~Clarence Darrow
What we need are critical lovers of America -
patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it.
~Hubert H. Humphrey
