Few Things Help an Individual More Than to Place Responsibility Upon Him–Fort Worth, Texas Civil Litigation Lawyers

QUOTES ON LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, TRUTH AND DUTY:

 

 

“Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him.” Up from Slavery

-Booker T. Washington

 

“The true meaning of America, you ask? It’s in a Texas rodeo, in a policeman’s badge, in the sound of laughing children, in a political rally, in a newspaper… In all these things, and many more, you’ll find America. In all these things, you’ll find freedom. And freedom is what America means to the world. And to me.”

-Audie Murphy

 

“The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken — I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls — I shall never surrender or retreat.  Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch — The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days.  If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country — Victory or Death. P.S. The Lord is on our side…”

-William Barrett Travis

 

“If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute.” Rights of Man, 1791

-Thomas Paine

 

“If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify.” The Federalist Papers Federalist No. 33,  January 3, 1788

-Alexander Hamilton

 

“It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty.” Inaugural Address, March 4, 1817

-James Monroe

 

“I love my country, I love my guns, I love my family. I love the way it is now, and anybody that tries to change it has to come through me. That should be all our attitudes because this is America….”

-Charles Daniels

 

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their rights, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.”  April 4, 1776

– Declaration of Independence

 

“It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honour of the States, as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused. Letter to R. Lushington, March 15, 1786

-John Jay

 

“In such a performance you may lay the foundation of national happiness only in religion, not by leaving it doubtful “whether morals can exist without it,” but by asserting that without religion morals are the effects of causes as purely physical as pleasant breezes and fruitful seasons.” Letter to John Adams, August 20, 1811

-Benjamin Rush 

 

“Man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” Farewell Address, The Oval Office, January 11, 1989

-Ronald Reagan

 

“I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and incur my own abhorrence.” Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

-Frederick Douglass
