"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson--

"Those who hammer their guns into
Plows will plow for those who do not."
--Unknown author--

"Not gold, but only man can make
A people great and strong;
Men who, for truth and honor's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson--
