""Let the right to bear arms be esteemed sacred, never to be surrendered. Let the ordinary military duty be esteemed a pleasure and not an imposed task or disgusting toil. Remember you are then preparing yourselves to defend your happy country from the foes of its liberties and glory. In the countries of tyrants the citizen is not permitted to bear arms, formidable to none but tyrants. Citizen Soldiers, should ever a foreign or domestic tyrant insult you by daring to command you to deliver up your arms, may you send him back the Spartan answer, Come and take them!""
