Here is a train of thoughts for Independence Day. There are many important quotes and ideas from the country’s founders (see also link to Patrick Henry quotes below); and including those expressed in the Declaration of Independence. Here are some pertinent quotes for the day from Thomas Paine. Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them. He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. Quotes from Patrick Henry www.brainyquote.com/authors/patrick-henry-quotes

It was a hot day today in Baltimore, 88 degrees and sunny. We marched in the 89th Annual Dundalk Independence Day Parade; a 2-hour event winding through the residential area. Fireworks in the neighborhood began at about 8:30, and are going strong. Alfred
America the Beutiful (1911 version (from a 1893 poem, America, by Katharine Lee Bates; which was published July 4, 1895 The familiar music was later composed by by S. A. Ward) O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
