| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"I cannot tell a lie."
"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one." "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." "Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth." "The harder the conflict, the greater the triumph." "The future of this nation is in my hands." "A government is like fire, a handy servant, but a dangerous master." "To be good, and to do good, is all we have to do." "Real men despise battle, but will never run from it."
