Democracy is the theory that the common people know
what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
If there is not the war,
you don't get the great general;
if there is not a great occasion,
you don't get a great statesman;

no one would have known his name.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it
not for themselves and, under a just God,
cannot long retain it.
I die without seeing the dawn brighten over my native land.
You,
who have it to see,
welcome it—and forget not those who have fallen during the night.
