Edward Everett Quote

"Freedom may come quickly in robes of peace,
or after ages of conflict and war;
but come it will, and abide it will,
so long as the principles by which
it was acquired are held sacred."

by:	Edward Everett (1794-1865) American politician, Unitarian pastor, educator, diplomat, orator, U.S. representative, U.S. senator, the 15th governor of Massachusetts, minister to Great Britain, and United States secretary of state. He also taught at Harvard University and served as its president.

Amen to J and Mike.  -- jim k, Austin
