"Restrain the Government - Lest It Come to Dominate Our Lives"

These quotes from Patrick Henry, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, are vital reminders to the leaders of our country today. The full speed ahead attempt to take freedoms from Americans, have government control every area of American life, and drag us toward a Socialist nation, should be contrasted to the content of these quotes. Our freedoms hang in the balance – we must not sit idle and mute. We must make our viewpoints known to those who are representing us in government.

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."

"It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!"

"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."

"Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense?"

"The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed."

"The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable."

"The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun."
