Quote from William Cowper,


"But slaves that once conceive the glowing thought
Of freedom, in that hope itself possess
All that the contest calls for; spirit, strength,
The scorn of danger, and united hearts,
The surest presage of the good they seek."

William Cowper (more quotes by William Cowper or books by/about William Cowper)
