Revolutionary War hero Samuel Adams on Responding to "Lawless Attacks on Our Liberty" w/ "Circumspection, Deliberation, Foritude, Perseverence"

"Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain
the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter.
The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost
circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance. Let us remember
that "if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage
it, and involve others in our doom," it is a very serious consideration ...
that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event."
Samuel Adams
