Words Matter
Through the ages, some words spoken by man have become immortalized. They withstand the test of time because of the inspiration they invoke, or for the wisdom and insight they reflect . Who among us does not get goose bumps whenever we hear the following:

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country
Nathan Hale

Live Free or Die
New Hampshire state motto

Americans never quit.
General Douglas Macarthur

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety
Benjamin Franklin

Fear is the foundation of most governments
John Adams

One man with courage is a majority
Thomas Jefferson

You touch my junk and I'm going to have you arrested
John Tyner
