I know you’d rather be at the beach or watching fireworks or eating watermelon than reading a blog. So here are a few quick quotes to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day.
“Where liberty dwells, there is my country.” – Benjamin Franklin
“If our country is worth dying for in time of war, let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace.” – Hamilton Fish
“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” – Thomas Paine
“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.” – Thomas Paine
“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4 not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.” – Erma Bombeck
Happy 4th of July!
