Let It Come!

“The bat­tle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vig­i­lant, the active, the brave. … [I]t is now too late to retire from the con­test. There is no retreat but in sub­mis­sion and slav­ery! Our chains are forged! Their clank­ing may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!” –Patrick Henry
