Defend The Rights Which Heaven Gave

 



Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian 

and social duty of each individual...

Continue steadfast, and, with a proper sense

 of your dependence on God,

 nobly defend those rights which heaven gave,

and no man ought to take from us."


John Hancock
(1737-1793)
American statesman and patriot
