Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775 Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! -Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

"Doctor, I wish you to observe how real and beneficial the religion of Christ is to a man about to die . . . I am, however, much consoled by reflecting that the religion of Christ has, from its first appearance in the world, been attacked in vain by all the wits, philosophers, and wise ones, aided by every power of man, and its triumphs have been complete." - "A Cloud of Witnesses," by Steven Abbott Northrop, p.227.

Quotes - Patrick Henry Patrick Henry [3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836]: "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." Patrick Henry at the Virginia Convention, 1788, as quoted by Thomas M. Moneure, Jr., in "Virginia's Great Dissenters", printed in the March, 1999, issue of American Guardian, pp 38-40: "You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured; for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government." Patrick Henry (J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836): "Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry, from J. Elliot's, "Debates in the Several State Conventions", 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836:

P atrick Henry (1736-1799) is recognized as one of the most important figures in the history of the Revolution in Virginia. It was Patrick Henry who was the man who, in Jefferson's words, "set the ball of Revolution rolling" in Virginia. The famous speech in which Henry declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" was given at St. John's Church in Richmond, during the debates of the Second Virginia Convention, and Henry's stirring rhetoric helped swing sentiment to his belief that Virginians must prepare for the inevitable conflict with Great Britain. Patrick Henry speaks again to modern audiences as presented by Michael Wells . Mr. Wells has performed as Patrick Henry since 1992 at historic St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. He has performed for The American Academy of Achievement, the Patrick Henry Society of Emory & Henry College, The National Forensics League, The Conservative Political Action Committee 2000 convention, the Core Knowledge Foundation 2001 convention, and numerous other groups.

Next PATRICK HENRY (1736-1799) Patrick Henry was fearless and eloquent. he became the spokesman of the southern colonies during the American Revoltion. He was born May 29, 1736, in Hanover County, Virginia. His mother was English, and his father Scottish. He attended public school for a short time, then was taught by his father, who had a good education. He failed as a farmer and storekeeper, so he decided to try his hand at law. He was admitted to the bar in 1769. In 1763, he supported the people against the church in a case known as the Parson's Cause. He said that a king, by vetoing acts of a colonial legislature, "denegrates into a tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects' obedience." This declaration got him a seat in the Virginia House of Burgesses. When the Stamp Act was started, Patrick Henry said that the British had no right to tax the colonists. In a debate, he exclaimed: "Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First, his Cromwell; and George III" He was cut short by cries of "Treason!" from members of the House. He paused for a moment, then finished, "and George III may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it!" This speech secured the adoption of the resolutions. In 1774, Patrick Henry was a delegate to the First Continental Congress. At the 2nd Virginia Convention, he urged the colony to arm its militia. He declared, "Gentlemen may cry peace! peace! but there is no peace! The war is actually begun! The next gate that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
