"This love of religious liberty ... made up of the clearest sense of right and the highest conviction of DUTY, is able to look the sternest despotism in the face, and, with means apparently most inadequate, to shake principalities and powers. There is a boldness, a spirit of daring ... If the hand of power be laid upon it, this only seems to augment its force ... Nothing can forcefully restrain it when it breaks forth. Nothing can stop it."
Daniel Webster
