Quote
Joseph Hewes:
Your clock is fast, Mr. Adams. I say we're not yet ripe for independence.
Stephen Hopkins:
Not ripe? Hell, we're rotting for want of it!
Samuel Chase:
Gentlemen, please, what in God's name is the infernal hurry? Why must this question be settled now?
Caesar Rodney:
What's wrong with now, Mr. Chase?
Samuel Chase:
General Washington is in the field. If he's defeated, as it now appears, we'll be inviting the hangman. But if, by some miracle, he should actually win, we can then declare anything we damn please.
Joseph Hewes:
The sentiments of North Carolina precisely.
John Adams:
Has it ever occured to either of you that an army needs something to fight *for* in order *to* win? A goal, a purpose, a flag of its own?
