Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow—
Let us do or die!
--
Scots Wha Hae, st. 5 (1794)Robert Burns
Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now, They may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. They will only exchange Tyrants and Tyrannies.
John Adams
I have plowed the sea. Our America will fall into the hands of vulgar tyrants.
Simon Bolivar
[Translated]: The tree of liberty only grows when watered by the blood of tyrants.
Bertrand Barere de Vieuzac
Not power not cruelty not death not winning not fighting not money not oil not war not sex not tyranny: all tyrants fall.
Martin Firrell
You have to blow off your family. You have to blow off comfort. You have to blow off money.... You have to blow off your ego. You have to blow off everything except your guitar.
Townes Van Zandt
