"But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. "
--Patrick Henry, Virginia lawyer, governor, politician
St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia
March 23, 1775
