It is the firm duty of each of our free citizens and of every free citizen everywhere to place the cause of his country before the comfort, the convenience of himself.

Let me ask you, sir, when is the time for brave men to exert themselves in the cause of liberty and their country, if this is not?

It is incumbent upon every person of every description to contribute to his country's welfare.

Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity.

I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.

There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.
