We do, then, most solemnly before god and the world declare that regardless of every consequence, at the risk of every distress, the arms we have been compelled to assume we will use with perseverance, exerting to their utmost energies all those powers which our creator hath given us to preserve that liberty which he committed to us in sacred deposit and to protect from every hostile hand our lives and our properties.

More From Thomas Jefferson

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men. we...solemnly publish and declare, that these colonies are and of a right ought to be free and independent states...and for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

The best and safest way of philosophising seems to be, first to enquire diligently into the properties of things, and to establish those properties by experiences [experiments] and then to proceed slowly to hypotheses for the explanation of them. for hypotheses should be employed only in explaining the properties of things, but not assumed in determining them; unless so far as they may furnish experiments.

Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? liberty, the greatest of all earlthy blessings - give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! . . . guard with jealous attention the public liberty. suspect every one who approaches that jewel.

There was no god in his heart, he knew; his ideas were still in riot; there was ever the pain of memory; the regret for his lost youth-yet the waters of disillusion had left a deposit on his soul, responsibility and a love of life, the faint stirring of old ambitions and unrealized dreams...... and he could not tell why the struggle was worth while, why he had determined to use to the utmost himself and his heritage from the personalities he had passed... he stretched out his arms to the crystalline, radiant sky. i know myself," he cried, "but that is all.

Then came the second amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. bank deposits...did not need to be left idly in the bank. they could be lent. the bank then got interest. the borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. but the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. that too could be spent. money, spendable money, had been created. let no one rub his or her eyes. it's still being done-every day. the creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, i've often said, that the mind is slightly repelled.

Everything that we see in our daily lives is more or less distorted by acquired habits and this is perhaps more evident in an age like ours when cinema posters and magazines present us every day with a flood of ready-made images which are to the eye what prejudices are to the mind. the effort to see things without distortion demands a kind of courage; and this courage is essential to the artist, who has to look at everything as though he were seeing it for the first time.

Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. 'kiss me,' he said. she leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. her hair fell over peter's shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. she smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold. he felt his heart scrambling, caught inside the confines of his own body. josie's lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. 'i'm glad i wasn't stuck in here alone,' she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath.
