Liberty is poorly served by men whose good intent is quelled from one failure or two failures or any number of failures, or from the casual indifference or ingratitude of the people, or from the sharp show of the tushes of power, or the bringing to bear soldiers and cannon or any penal statutes. Liberty relies upon itself, invites no one, promises nothing, sits in calmness and light, is positive and composed, and knows no discouragement.
Pretty damn good. Check out that Walt Whitman link I got over there. Its all online and free to view. Mad versions of Leaves of Grass and a bunch of other stuff you wouldn't think of.
